LOU DALTON S/S 2013


Lou Dalton has established herself as a starlet of British Menswear, generating a fever of excitement amongst those influential to showcasing British fashion talent. This support to date has manifested itself through awards from Fashion East, and more recently through the BFC NEW GEN MAN with presentations at London & Paris Fashion Week. Hailed as the star of this year's MAN, she is the rising star amongst British Menswear designers.
Lou Dalton's signature aesthetic showcases contemporary classicism and refined tailoring that has been defined by her working-class roots and her stylish Teddy Boy father. She has the ability to develop exceptionally well crafted garments that are both considered & thought provoking.
Lou Dalton's career development began back in her home county of Shropshire when she left school at 16 to take up an apprenticeship in bespoke tailoring and pattern cutting. A desire to play a more creative role led on to further studies accumulating in a Master's Degree in Menswear from the Royal College of Art in 1998. On graduation Lou moved to Italy and worked as a design consultant, a job she would remain in on her return to London, with her clients including the likes of Hamish Morrow and Stone Island.

PAMELA MANN

Pay tribute to the stylish individuals of yesteryear in the charming Pamela Mann Movie Star Printed Tights.

With romantic scenes layered in a beautiful collage effect, this is Old Hollywood glamour at its best. Made in the flattering sepia tones, the muted browns and creams add that touch of sophistication, letting your legs tell the story of starlets and dreamboats. Swoon. 

These matt 50 denier tights feel super soft to the touch, whilst the flat 3cm waistband provides the comfort factor.

PARIS BEAUTY TIGHTS 

They say Paris is the city of love and these 50 denier tights are most certainly befitting of that. Causing us to swoon left right and centre, these Pamela Mann Paris Beauty Tights are en vogue.

With a fun retro pattern, you’ll find that sophisticated Parisian faces have found a place on the matt tights, running from the toes until the super thin 3cm waistband. With a subtle nod to the pop art style, the Warhol-esque phrases and illustrations pay homage to the home of the Eiffel Tower, layered for that arty collage look. Reds, baby blues, dove greys and warm browns make up the pattern, as the design continues all the way up to the super thin waistband, you can get away with a flirty hemline.

SKULL AND ROSES TIGHTS 

Forget Guns and Roses – it’s now Skulls and Roses! Proving that goth-glam has a soft side too, Pamela Mann has given the infamous skull motif a feminine facelift with a little help from roses, butterflies and dreamy love hearts. It’s definitely not all doom and gloom when it comes to skulls, as the team behind the brand has made it easy for you to update your outfit, creating a playful style.

The illustrations have a distinct retro feel to them, as a fun take on the more traditional design. With flat seams and a comfy 3cm thin waistband, they not only look great but feel good too. The baby blue base colour makes them surprisingly easy to wear, as you team them with denims shorts, a tee (a good rock band tee for extra punk points) and pretty flats.

CAMDEN TIGHTS 

Staying true to the regulars of this part of London, these 40 denier tights from Pamela Mann show off the eclectic, grunge-chic that Camden has to offer. Images of the notorious Camden High street have been worked into the collage style print, along with some of the more recognizable London trademarks. Even the Gherkin has been given a mention!

With the so-hip-it-hurts black and white colour theme, you’ll still find splashes of red and blue, provided by the appearance of the Union Jack and a few charming love hearts. The 40 denier matt tights are great for lifting an otherwise understated outfit, lending coverage and fun to any ensemble. The super flat seams lie incognito underneath your clothes, and the same can be said for the thin 3cm waistband too.

MARAKESH TIGHTS 

Things are about to get exotic in the world of hosiery as Pamela Mann take your legs on a North African adventure. Wave goodbye to puddles and drizzle and say hello to souks and sunshine as the cheery colours and pretty patterns lift outfits (and spirits) in an instant.

Paying homage to Marrakech, the 40 denier tights are matte appearance and silky soft to the touch. The gorgeous floral pattern consists of bold outlines, with a medley of terracotta, leaf and pinks. Beginning at the toes, the pattern runs along the full length of the leg until it finishes at the flat 3cm waistband. 

 Added to increase comfort, much like the waistband, you'll also notice that the seams lie flat against your body. To let your legs steal the show on every occasion, team with a chiffon tunic dress and a chunky gold necklace, adding heels for a touch of sophistication.

GALACTIC SKY PRINTED TIGHTS 

Exactly as the name suggest, things have gone galactic as Pamela Mann teleport your pins out of this world. These 50 denier tights has a mystical printed space scene, as milkyways, nebulas, planets and space dust covers your entire legs, from the toes until the flat waistband.

Hues of pinks, lilacs and slate and accents of ivory and yellow complete the dreamy design. Silky soft to the touch, these are oh so comfy, as flat seams also work hard to make your day in them a joy. Set to be a big trend, these futuristic matt tights are light years (sorry) ahead so debut yours now under a simple shift dress and heeled ankle boots. As the design continues until the waistband, you can go as high or low as you wish with your hemline, with peace of mind that no brief will show.

LONDON HEART TIGHTS 

After a victorious summer (we haven’t shut up about the Olympics yet), we’ve got into the spirit of championing all things British and these Pamela Mann London Heart tights have caught our eye.

These 50 denier opaques are no ordinary black opaques, as you’ll discover a pretty diamante design just below one of your knees. Consisting of tiny diamantes, the Union Jack has been shaped into a sweet heart design, with ‘London’ spelt out just above it. Glued onto the matt fabric, the glitzy diamantes come in ruby red, royal blue and a bright sapphire blue.

LONDON PRINT TIGHTS 

With a growing population of 8 million people, make sure your pins stand out from the rest in these fun Pamela Mann London Print Tights. 

London’s calling! Everything that is great with the capital (and everything that makes an appearance in tourist snaps) has been packed into one pair of tights – and we adore them! Whether you want to show your pride for your home town or pay tribute to your latest city break, Pamela Mann have made it easy to show your appreciation with their playful 50 denier London Print Tights.

With appearances from the London Underground, the London Eye, Big Ben and the all important red telephone box, the matte tights are perfect for adding character to any outfit. The super thin 3cm waistband and incognito flat seams create a comfy fit, whilst the sheer toes means you can team yours with sky heel peep toes for instant look-at-me legs.
