TRENDING IT OUT

Lauren Small and Nicole are both clothing designers and these young entrepreneurs will stop at nothing to achieve their dreams.

Nicole clothing line is called Peyton Cole. It is a versatile women's wear brand which started the end of 2016. It's named after her daughter. She was one of the main reasons why she started her own business. She hated the idea of not being in charge of her own time. A bit more about the brand, it's for everyone. She's currently got 3 ranges: Swimwear, Streetwear and Basics. You can wear Peytoncole no matter what mood you're in, dress it up in heels or dress it down in sneakers.

Prrettybird started out by making herself clothes last year when she was working in retail because she kept running out of things to wear and because she met so many people she began getting orders or just getting good feedback from the items she would design. It started off  when she done custom designs where she'd just ask for a picture reference and then work from there. She did pretty well last year November to Jan and then she got  bored and quit her job to start studying and put her business first and then started making her own designs. She gets inspiration from international boutique stores.

Right now she's doing everything herself from styling, photography, creative directing. She has always been a creative and growing up with so many talents it was hard for her to figure out what exactly she wanted to do in future. Her clothing style can be described as chic yet hip. You can dress it up or down with a pair of sneakers or match a skirt with a tee shirt or sweats with a crop top and throw on some heels. That's the aim, to be able to mix it up.

They will be having an event which started when Nicole was looking for places to sell her own clothing. She applied for an existing pop up in the Bello Studio and the owner said it's full but she was welcome to host her own event there. She figured that she does not have much to lose, especially since the Old Biscuit Mill draws a crowd every single weekend. It was space allocated for other local designers/entrepreneurs to get their products out there and to the overseas markets since there's many tourists visiting the OBM. Luscious by Lauren applied to take part in the first one and that's how they met and ended up doing business together.

This event will be the fourth Pop-up Market and is double the size it was last year and Lauren has now come on board and co-hosting with me.
