The Time is Now.

Things are hotting up at Still Small Voice as we have been preparing to launch! The Marketing packs and look books were sent out to the buyers last week and we are preparing to call the buyers to get sales appointments (fingers crossed)!!

Harriet has been busy working with the manufacturers, making sure our dresses are perfect and ready to take down to London next month! We’ve had the labels and swing tickets printed and it’s all starting to look very professional.

We have already managed to secure a meeting with Wolf and Badger, an amazing boutique in Notting Hill, London. It is surrounded by other high end boutiques such as Matches and Toast.  Wolf and Badger provide a platform to showcase the best design talent from the UK. Wish us luck as the meeting is next month!! So exciting yet SO scary!!!

Behind the Scenes


The photo shoot has been done...…phew!

Cutting the deadlines fine! Today we were shooting the debut collection for spring/summer‘12. We had 14 pieces in total to photograph and once we got going, we absolutely sailed through the shoot.

Keeping things simple definitely paid off, simple hair and make up, natural lighting and a beautiful model all worked really well! The garments looked fantastic on Harriet and we would like to think of her as ‘the face’ of still Small Voice. We have uploaded some photos taken from behind the scenes of the photo shoot. Please enjoy them.

Photographer, Jono Renton did an amazing job and we are SO happy with the results!!! The photo shoot took place at Jono’s home studio, which was perfect for what we wanted.

We finished the day off by going for a pub lunch to fill our bellies! I would say that the first photo shoot for Still Small Voice has been a success. Now all that’s left to do is put together the look book, print out the marketing material and were good to go!

Finally we just want to say a massive thank you to both the model, Harriet and the photographer, Jono (http://www.jono-renton.co.uk/) for helping us, you’ve been amazing!

Busy Bee’s

Not long left now until the launch of Still Small Voice. We’ve had one minor blip which has held us back a week, but we are back on track and ready for the photo shoot. The dresses are finished, the t-shirts are printed we’ve even got the little swing tickets ready and waiting to be put onto their garments!

Oh how organised we are! To keep you nosey people entertained in the meantime we’ve put up a few sneaky shots of the dresses. But watch this space as we will be uploading some amazing photographs of our beautiful garments in the next week or so!

I am actually in LOVE with the second one in!

The Printing of the Fabrics.


Here they are! We've given you four of our favorite designs, fresh out of the printer! The collection comprises of twelve unique pieces, digitally printed using the highest quality crepe de chine and silk twills. Produced entirely in the UK, Still Small Voice works with artisan manufacturers to ensure the highest quality products.

The Rhinos are Coming!

Time is passing so quickly now!! The weeks are absolutely flying by. Our fabric has just been printed and we have been back and forth to the manufacturers to get things going there. It literally feels like were racing against time.

The fabrics look amazing and we’ve come up with all the quirky little name tags for each dress: “My pod is better than yours” and “Six legs are better than two”. At the moment six legs would definately be better than two…at least then I could walk faster!

In 3 weeks time we will both be overseeing the photo shoot for our look book!! So you can expect to see the photos from the shoot by the middle of May.

We’ve left you with a sneak preview of what you can expect of the debut collection from Still Small Voice.

The moose has been let loose

The drawing's are done......the designs have been finalised.... and the sample range is on its way!


Over the last few months STILL SMALL VOICE has been out and about gathering the ingredients for the debut collection "Out of a Hat".


Our approach to the design process takes an unusual slant. At random a subject matter is picked out of a hat, which then becomes our focus for the season, keeping the collections personal and design led.

Eccentric and unconventional subjects have led to our quest for something unique. Taking inspiration from ever evolving surroundings, such as old taxidermied animal heads at Wollaton Hall. Our collections epitomise an unexpected, yet completely wearable look!
