The Theatre of Fashion!

We're welcoming the return of theatrical fashion to the catwalk and high street with open arms. Regal and historical designs and statement pieces come in lush velvets and detailed brocade in a celebration of all things over-the-top! The current obsession with Twilight and True Blood has also seen a marked return of vampire-inspired clothing and the steampunk trend is rampant. Of course, theatre is what lies at the heart of Londonedge and alternative fashion as a whole, so we're streets ahead of the game at LondonedgeLIVE.

From long, gothic lace dresses fqor ladies to Dracula-esque shirts and tailored coats for men, Fashion X is a brand built on theatre. Stock up on their frilled men's shirts in black or white like this New Romantic lace-up design (pictured) at an affordable wholesale price of £7.90.

For regal, neo-Victorian accessories, Phaze Clothing has just what your customers want with luxurious feathered fans in pink, white, red and black, ranging from £3.00 to £5.00 wholesale and gorgeous parasols. We love this Kandy Parasol (pictured) at a wholesale price of £8.00 which comes in a range of other colours including pink, red and white.

Make the most of the Vampire fascination sweeping the globe and introduce some great designs from horror-specialists, Kreepsville. Girls with an attitude will love their red Vamp mini-skirt at just £8.50 wholesale and this tie-back, fang adorned tee (both pictured) at £9.00.

Historical and military stylings are a large part of the steampunk trend along with period accessories such as timepieces, ray guns and pocket watches. Frock coats and tailored designs are key for men and we recommend this Classic Wants Coat with military buttons (pictured) from Hard Leather Stuff at a wholesale price of 45 EUR.

These boots were made for walking!

Boots are big news this season with an emphasis on practicality and darker colours such as midnight blue, greys and dark violets. Those that aren’t in to the bows and frills that have adorned recent designs should be pleased by the new trend for work boots, zip fronts and masculine studs.

Biker boots should be the first port of call for both female and male customers and New Rock have an entire motorcycle range for the picking. Calf-length designs are key and we love these buckled, chunky men's boots at 79.50 EUR wholesale. For something completely different but equally fashionable, opt for their gorgeous studded metallic ankle boots for ladies.

Thigh-high boots are a must-have for the ladies this Winter, whether they are comfy and flat or teetering on towering heels. Nitelife have a vast range of thigh-high designs in patent or 'leather-look' in a plethora of colours and styles.

If thigh-highs aren't quite right for your customers then ankle boots are also bang on-trend and they elongate the legs as well! Head to Pleaser where you'll find these fantastic 'Seduce' black-leather lace-up ankle boots - a great and timeless addition to any shoe collection.

NYE Spectacular!

There's never a better excuse for your customers to get glammed up than New Years Eve. We've picked out some great products that are sure to help catch their eye and make any wearer feel like a million dollars!

Miss Fortune should always be first on your list for traditional glamour with figure-hugging dresses like this gorgeous Audrey Dress (pictured) in a Hawaiian print that hold everything in to the right place. The wholesale price is just £23.00 and the design also comes in Cherry and Leopard print.

Corsets continue to dominate fashion this season and Burleska have some perfect products for an ultra-glamorous festive appearance. New products this month include their gorgeous white layered Vanity skirt (pictured) at £19.95 wholesale. Give customers the choice of a matching corset to team it with, like this white corset (pictured) at a wholesale price of £13.50, and who can resist?

For NYE outfits with a sassy edge, visit Lena Quist and her kick-ass clothing. If your customer's aim is to stand out from the crowd on New Year Eve then this curve-clinging Vikki Spit Cocktail Dress (pictured) from Lena's 'Lowlita' range will certainly do the trick. Visit her page at LondonedgeLIVE.

Whilst the fellas might be less inclined to get glammed-up this NYE, there's certainly no excuse for looking shabby. Lucky 13's barber supplies range is the perfect addition to the bathroom cabinet of any bachelor and we recommend their Swagger Grooming Cream to hold hair perfectly in place. The wholesale price is $32.00 for 6 pieces.
