Lily Allen admits her fashion range isn’t “ground breaking”

By Andrea Petrou on June 15th, 2011

Lily Allen admits her fashion range isn’t “ground breaking”.

The ‘Not Fair’ hitmaker – who married building firm boss Sam Cooper on Saturday admits she and her sister Sarah Owen don’t do the actual designs for their Lucy in Disguise label and knows their collections are unlikely to change the face of fashion.

She said: “Sarah and me work with a designer called Nadia Jones. We tell her what we want and she does the sketches.

“We were inspired by vintage clothing – we’re not doing anything ground breaking.”

Lily also admitted working with her sister can be “challenging”, but she is more honest with her about her feelings than she is with anyone else in their company.

She told more! magazine: “It’s challenging. It can be a struggle with family members. It’s difficult not to be honest all the time. There’s a lot of tongue biting.

“Crispin, who I work with, and I disagree about stuff, but I always hold back because we’re not related. There’s a lot more horrible stuff I could say! But yeah, with my sister, when she starts to irritate me I just want to pull a face. But I don’t think everyone else in the office would like it very much.”

Lily Allen launches Lucy in Disguise collection

By Elisabeth on June 2nd, 2011

Bride-to-be Lily Allen has taken time out from her wedding planning to launch her own Lucy in Disguise fashion line with her sister Sarah Owen.

The vintage inspired designs were launched in a full seaside style at Harvey Nichols on Wednesday 1 June.

Lily told Vogue.co.uk: “Sometimes with vintage clothes the femininity can get lost – the market didn’t feel quite perfect, so that’s what we’ve worked on. I’ve always been into vintage – before I became a pop star it was all I ever wore.”

Will we be seeing Lily sporting some of her own designs at her Glastonbury honeymoon later this summer?

By Andrea Petrou on March 30th, 2011

Lily Allen is to create her debut range of clothes for her own label.

The pop star will release the collection under the guise of her London vintage store Lucy In Disguise – which she operates with her sister Sarah Owen.

Designer Kim Jones’ sister Nadia Jones will work on the collection with Lily, merging details from the vintage details of the pieces in the store with their own designs.

Each item will be named after people and places, with designs including the Fortnums and the Capone.

UK department store Harvey Nichols will be the first place to stock the clothes, which will launch in June.

Lily – who has previously designed a collection for UK high street store New Look – recently offered fans the chance to spend a “boozy evening” at her store and take home a free handbag as part of charity Twit Relief.

She wrote on twitter: “What shall I offer up for Twitrelief? Am struggling to come up with something interesting . Ok how about, a follow, a handbag of your choice from my personal collection and a boozy evening at Lucy in Disguise for you and 4 friends . You’d all get free hire of an amazog dress. Each and I might throw in dinner too. Whadya say? (sic)”

Lily Allen collaborates with PlayStation Move for a new video about fashion through the ages

By Andrea Petrou on March 11th, 2011

Lily Allen has collaborated with PlayStation Move for a new video about fashion through the ages.

The ‘Not Fair’ singer – who, along with sister Sarah Owen, launched her fashion store Lucy in Disguise last year – has again teamed up with the PlayStation 3 interactive game, so visitors to the London shop can delve into Lucy’s wardrobe and hire or purchase beautifully selected vintage clothing from the 20s all the way through to the 90s, as well as Lucy in Disguise branded products, while also having fun on the PlayStation 3.

The short film explores the theme of time travel – which was produced and styled by Lily Allen and Sarah Owen and directed by Marie Kristiansen – and it sees Lucy getting ready for a night out and being drawn into her closet and taken on a magical fashion time tour through different fashion. Part of the inspiration for the short has come from Lily and Sarah’s favourite PlayStation Move game ‘Buzz! The Ultimate Music Quiz’.

They said: “For our second Lucy in Disguise film project we wanted to explore fashion through the ages – the film like the store is about girls living it up in a fantasy world, where we rule and are let loose. Out of all the PlayStation Move games we play, Buzz: The Ultimate Music Quiz felt like the perfect accompaniment!”

Alongside the film will be a special motion sensitive light window at the store commissioned by PlayStation Move and designed by Deniz Kurtel , who was inspired by the idea of movement in fashion.
