House Of Tammam
















Earlier in the month of May I received an invite to Las Vega Fashion Week. Though I am truly honored , I became so disappointed I couldn't attend. That didn't stop me from getting the sweet satisfaction of interviewing some of the best designers featured in the events to come such as House of Tamamm. I have to give a special thank you to Lucy Tammam, award winning designer of House of Tammam  who didn't mine spilling the beans about the fabric and trails of the fashion industry as we Skype’d.  

The Tammam label is a world renowned British couture label offering hand made modern bridal gowns and fashion pieces created using traditional meticulous craftsmanship skills. Bringing back the concept of made to measure for a young generation the Bloomsbury atelier offers bespoke garments created to be worn with love and never “throw-away”.
An innovator of Eco-Couture, respecting and nurturing people and planet is as important as creating gowns to enhance and enrapture the wearer. 
Designed by Lucy Tammam, graduate of  central saint martins, classically trained in tailoring and obsessive couturier. Tammam is London's most exciting fashion label of the moment.

When asked what would be the biggest takeaway from starting her own business Lucy replied:
“Don’t (censored) do it! “ replies Lucy

It caught me by surprise but it definitely got my attention. Imagine how many great ideas we all have to start our own business. She went on to explain why.

“No seriously, don’t do it if you don’t plan to put your all into it. It takes time, dedication and most importantly money. You may end up making several pieces before investors find something they like. It might even be only 5 pieces out of the zillions you have created. That’s the most important take away. Stay in the know of things and don’t always assume your best work is the best they’ve ever seen. Keep working diligently towards becoming better, greater and more in demand.”

Words to truly live by for all of you  up and coming designers. It’s either give it your all or simply don’t do it. I know I am not in the business of quitting and hope you guys aren't either.
