After much liaising over e-mail and phone I finally got to go and meet the women behind 'Vicky Martin' and this of course included Vicky Martin herself. If you are unfamiliar with Miss Martin, know this. She is a northern success story who built her label from scratch. She now holds a concession in Selfridges and has a store in the Triangle and is spotted often on the back of British celebrities on various red carpets (that's dresses not the actual woman) She aims to be different.
I went to meet her and her team in Whitefield at Vicky Martin HQ where iI penetrated the inner sanctum, buried into their design psyches and heard scandalous tales of soap star stress heads, dive d-mands and got a diamante in my eye. g-g-g-gettin it out!
And look, they design, cut, make, label and ship everything from the Head Quarters. That is pioneering, not an umpa lumpa or underpaid child in sight and these workers looked happy and healthy. That is why we heart the Mart.
