Press at Designer Sales UK
Posted by: | CommentsAt my last sale in Brick Lane we decided to do some extreme make-up with our customers. I emailed all my client base and chose three fab models out of a huge list of applicants. Pamela Cochrane, London Fashion week make-up artist, came and worked the magic! Our models Patchoulee, Justina and Mark looked wild, see their pics on our dsuk facebook page. A local paper came and wrote about the whole event,
THE ‘Lady Gaga’ effect has come to London’s East End this weekend with the latest ‘people’s catwalk’ show with top names selling off the rack with as much as 90 per cent discount.
Top labels up for grabs at Designer Sales UK being held today (Sat) and tomorrow at the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane include Allegra Hicks, Vivienne Westwood, Galliano and Dior for men as well as women.
DSUK featured in the Sunday telegraph Stella mag
Posted by: | CommentsAnother great piece written in Stella Magazine in The Sunday Telegraph about DSUK, here’s the quote,
“DSUK sample sales take in young, cool labels and sell them alongside treasure from Alexander McQueen and Stella McCArtney. They’re staged in London and Brighton” – “DSUK is on of the 30 best places to Buy Lux for Less” Thank you Sunday Telegraph!
DSUK featured in Where magazine
Posted by: | Comments‘Where London’ magazine did a fab feature on me & Designer Sales UK for their back page article ‘The Last word/my london’. I felt very honoured and really enjoyed pulling out some of my favourite haunts in London. Its such a wonderful city!
Elaine Foster-Gandey has always worked in Fashion; from her first job in press for Jasper Conran, to her career as stylist and journalist, progressing to organising catwalk shows, she knows everyone and everything there is to know in the business. Which is why her foresight to organise warehouse sales of surplus stock and samples has been such a success – designers love it and shoppers can’t get enough. Little wonder with discounts of 90% off labels such as John Galliano, Prada and Vivienne Westwood…..Here are her tips on making the most of your stay in London.
