Bobo Choses Baby Clothes

Funky Childrens Clothing from I Dream Elephants

We like something a little bit different, which is why we love the ranges of clothing from I Dream Elephants.  The ranges of clothing for boys and girls includes a selection of International designer brands with influences including 50’s rocker, Scandinavian chic and traditional, plus there’s even an ‘anti-pink’ range for girls who don’t like to follow the stereotypical pink and fluffy look… (We definitely approve of this!)

In the ranges of clothing for boys and girls you’ll find a great organic range called FUB clothing , which offers great design with the selling point of not using any harmful chemicals in the production, organic wools and cottons plus the kind of craftsmenship which seems to have gone out of fashion with many brands.

Take a look at the website – www.idreamelephants.com if you’re in the market for some really high quality children’s clothing.

Computer EPoS program for alternative clothing stores

Every shop owner knows that if you have a large stock then it’s a nightmare trying to keep track of everything without a well thought out computer epos program – the software which runs all of your till system peripherals and interfaces with your stock control system.

Intelligent Retail offer a tailored range of EPoS software packages which run on Windows systems and allow full control over stock, online and offline selling channels and tie into accounting packages so you are always aware of where your business stands.

The Intelligent Retail Connect software and hardware systems offer total integration with a centrallised stock control system around which the EPoS system is based, meaning that sales from every available and linked in selling channel come back directly to the shop till, a boon for busy retailers as they don’t need to log into Amazon or Ebay admin areas to retrieve orders – all notifications appear right on the shop till interface for easy ‘pick pack and despatch’ to customers.

Take a look at the Intelligent Retail Connect EPoS systems based around a class leading computer EPoS program and centrallised stock control system – there are free demonstrations available!

Hell Bunny !

Hell Bunny clothing

A sample from the Rocky Horrors website of Hell Bunny style

Scary name!  Hell Bunny clothes are both retro and stylish… mixing 50’s chic with bondage, lolita and schoolgirl tones.

The use of a mix of gipsy styling, tartan and corsetry feature strongly in Hell Bunny clothing, giving a unique and alluring style to this alternative clothing brand.

If you love a mix of girly and the brazen hussy look then these clothes are right up your street – we love the use of dark prints, floaty skirts and clever use of corsetry which gives a feminine alternative look. Fabulous!

Cyber Goth Clothing

This is a genre I was very briefly involved in when I was 19. In fact it was so brief, it only lasted a weekend at the Infest festival in Bradford.
Still, it’s worth a mention because a lot of the fashion is just stunning:

Cyber Goth

Part of the look is to have cyber falls, or to use the full name, cyber dread falls. These look awesome, when done correctly.

Cyber FallsCyber Falls eh-eeerh

Some great Cyber goth, UV glow-in-the-dark clothing can be found here: cyber goth clothing. However, most cyber gear is scattered across the globe, so you’ll probably find it most useful, as I did those years ago, to use Ebay.

I also found this, which is a US website: http://www.crisiswear.com/ , which has some cool stuff, but to be totally honest, I’m more interested in the music that plays when you’re looking around the website – incredible stuff. I tried to find the first track which is labelled as ‘Northbourne – Watt’, but I can’t find it anywhere! Please let me know if you find it, it’s awesome.

UPDATE: I found it their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/northborne Crisiswear spelt it with a U, no wonder I couldn’t find them.

Moonmaiden Gothic Clothing

Continuing with the theme of women making and modelling their own clothes, I do have to give this website a mention:

http://www.moonmaiden-gothic-clothing.co.uk

I bought a few things from MoodMaiden a good 5 or 6 years ago. I used to look through all the pages and wish I could have it all 😀 My tastes have changed since then, but unfortunately this website hasn’t :S It seems very much stuck in the past, although that might be the idea… it’s a Cornish business and there’s a certain quaintness with the old-style website from the early 2000’s. It probably helps maintain a loyalty with previous customers, but it can’t do a good job of attracting new visitors and enticing them to buy.
One thing you can’t fault them with is the customer service – the lady (can’t find her name on the website, and can’t remember it from all that time ago) – is very attentive with your order and quick to respond to queries.

Let me know if you find any smaller alternative clothing businesses like these and I’ll be sure to give them a mention.

My Little Halo

Wow! I have to say I’m impressed and very pleased to have found this little gem: http://www.mylittlehalo.co.uk
According to her Twitter profile, Emily Horner designs, makes, models and sells her own clothes.
And these clothes are absolutely incredible. I’ve already discovered a favourite top but it’s out of stock at the moment 🙁

My Little Halo - Long Sleeved Top

This lady has real talent for creating extraordinary clothes that push the boundaries even further for Alternative clothing. This is her blog but I don’t think she updates it anymore, but rather focuses on Facebook and Twitter: http://my-little-halo.blogspot.com.
Still, I’ve loved looking through all the old posts, and found lots of other great stuff. I just wonder if she doesn’t mind creating things that she might have stopped making a while ago. Emily even does lovely corset belts which are usually a bloody nightmare to find!

Hell Bunny Dresses

Yes I’m afraid it’s yet more dresses in this post 🙂
I’ve just found the most incredible range of Hell Bunny dresses. I’ve known of the brand for a while but something about this page makes you realise just how awesome they are: Viper London – Hell Bunny.
I love all of them! They’re so classy and different, and it’s hard to pick out favourites. I had a go anyway:

Hell Bunny Purple Polka Dot DressHell Bunny Gingham 50's Prom DressHell Bunny Polka Dot DressHell Bunny Zip Thru Lace Florine Pencil Dress

Gorgeous! The detail on all the dresses is fabulous. And it gets better, the delivery is free to the UK, so even more reason to have a go with Hell Bunny.

Phaze Alternative Clothing

Phaze Coat - Alternative ClothingI’ve been eyeing up Phaze Clothing today – I’ve never really looked at their website properly before, and I’ve found some really awesome stuff.
It’s a fantastic mix of colourful, playful fashion and gothic style. It’s a really refreshing website to look through, despite the bad navigation, and mix of CAPITAL LETTERS and small letters.. I don’t know, I just like conformity and continuity 😉
Phaze Dress - Alternative Clothing
Anyways, there’s so much to look at, and a brilliant array of stuff to create eye catching outfits to wow everyone. Check it out!: Phaze Clothing.
If you want to buy anything, there’s a fairly large questionnaire of personal details they want to farm from you before you can proceed. I decided to give this a miss, so let me know if you try it, whether you can securely purchase after this.
