European Designer Review: Ashley Lloyd Fashion Int.

I am excited to share the work of an European designer I collaborated with recently: Ashley Lloyd International .  The bold and creative designs immediately caught my eye! His talent is amazing and unique.

 I  chose this A line faux leather dress with a 60's vibe.  The laser cut detailing on the side panels is what makes the dress so striking.  I also love the comfort factor of this piece, it's great for casual day wear, or you can dress it up for an evening out.  Pairing the dress with red shoes, made the laser cut outs pop out so perfectly.

 Ashley designs are based out of the United Kingdom , so it seemed very fitting to do a photo shoot in a  phone booth! I felt transported to the streets of London for just a few moments!



Ashley creates all his designs with eco and animal friendly materials.  Each collection features bold colors and striking silhouettes that encompass the attitude of a confident fashionista. 

The inspiration for Ashley's work has come from the influence of strong  women that have surrounded him his whole life. Ashley Lloyd International is a high street fashion brand that inspires women to be adventurous with style, and to embrace their wardrobe as armor for everyday life.

Currently there are 4 collections available at Ashley Lloyd International, along with individual pieces on sale(including the dress I am wearing!) 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed learning about a European designer as much as I did.  Spring break is over and it's back to work for me.  The highlight was a fashion show with my daughter for mom's weekend, at her university campus.  Enjoy your week, and stay tuned for highlights from the fashion show.

    1. Thank you Michelle, it is not a style I normally wear. I always stick to fitted and not baggy, so it was stepping out of my comfort zone, which is good to do sometimes! Have a great day!

  11. I think you're so brave baring your knees to the world, and you are totally rocking that dress. I never feel very comfortable showing my legs off, probably because I've spent to much time in pants :o) Is that really a hole in the floor of the booth? Scary!

    1. Ha ha Thanks Stella, thank you! No that is not a hole...I think it is a big blob of paint .:O
