Katie Price launches her new collection Day 22 at Pure Spirit

Katie Price launched her own premium fashion and accessories brand, Day 22 at Pure Spirit last week. Katie has worked closely with renowned British fashion designer Lamis Khamis for the past 8 months to develop and create the brand Day 22 with its first collection consisting of easy to wear t-shirts, sweatshirts and dresses.

Katie appeared on the Pure Spirit catwalk at Earls Court on Sunday 13th Feb followed by a Q&A session with Khabi Mirza. Katie commented "I've never been accepted in the fashion world - ever. When i did my style book I went to Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Roberto Cavalli. But not one of them would lend me a dress. I thought: "stuff you lot, I'll bring out a fashion range anyway".

The collection was a huge success at the show selling to retailers in Dubai, Japan and the US.

Do you know an Inspiring Independent?

Then let us know at inspiringindies@drapersonline.com


We know that the UK and Republic of Ireland's fashion indies are some of the most exciting and innovative in the world, so Drapers and Pure London have launched a new project to celebrate that success.

Inspiring Independents will identify the country's 50 best in class indies and showcase them in a specially-produced supplement and at an exclusive celebratory party. But we want you to nominate which fashion retailers should make the cut.

We want to hear about all of the fashion indies you admire and why.
They can operate in womenswear, menswear, young fashion, lingerie, kidswear, footwear and accessories or indeed stock a mixture of all of these categories. The only proviso is that the businesses you nominate must have fewer than 11 stores and they must be multi-brand retailers that have a bricks and mortar operation.
Drapers will compile a shortlist of the most nominated 50 indies on December 3, and then ask those indies to rank their favourite five peers.

The Inspiring Indies celebratory supplement, ranking those indies, will be published with Drapers in February - and each indie's final position in the top 50 will be unveiled at an exclusive invitation-only event held on the opening evening of London tradeshow Pure London and Pure Spirit on February 13 at a top London location.

Email your nominations and your reasons now to inspiringindies@drapersonline.com
