By Carolyn Hughes on Oct 21, 09 04:15 PM in Launches

Hello Everyone

We are delighted to be 'guest blogging' for Carolyn on BY INVITATION ONLY

As crazy as it sounds, Carolyn has managed to get from us literally our only 15 minute window in a manic week for us both.

As well as preparing for the launch of our new collection at CIRCO on Friday night (23rd October) - we are still on a high from watching Tess Daly wearing one of our dresses for Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night. We had so many lovely message from clients and friends telling us how fabulous she looked in our couture number. Tess and her stylist were delighted with the look and we are proud that over six million people on Saturday night saw a dress designed right here in Liverpool, by Liverpool Designers!

We met during our BA course in Fashion and really that is where our journey started. In Spring of 1996 we launched our own label featuring a capsule collection of Women's eveningwear and Wedding Dresses.
One of our Wedding dresses was featured on Brookside and proved to be so popular that it was repeated in different variations over the years.

We have been dressing some of our clients for well over ten years now and it gives us a great sense of satisfaction and achievement to see our lovely clients leaving with a dress that they absolutely LOVE, that fits them and that they feel fantastic in.

We have a great relationship with many of the countries best stylists and our clothes have been worn by many celebrities over the years including Geri Halliwell, Alex Curran, Liz McLarnon, Claire Sweeney, Tina O'Brien and Kym Ryder.

The current collection features our signature evening gowns along with modern cocktail dresses, the all important 'Little Black Dresses' (that no woman can live without!) and some intricately detailed chiffon blouses, all perfect for winter party season and into early spring. To see our new collection visit our 'Showroom to see brand new pieces weekly, photographed on mannequins as soon as we have produced them and before they go in store. www.philiparmstrongcouture.com

We have a passion for fashion and we are delighted and proud that we are being recognised nationally for our designs - it is a fabulous feeling to be taking fashion down the M1 instead of the other way around.
We love the fact that we are a Liverpool based label, Liverpool loves it's fashion, which is why we love the City so much.

Philip Armstrong Couture will also be showcased at GUSTO in Heswall on 10th November 2009. For further information - watch this space for the eflyer or email Carolyn Hughes direct on Carolyn@carolynhughes.com

Stay Stylish....

Much love

Tony Burke and Philip Armstrong
