. Posted by vhowell on 17th May 2012 at 12:02 PM Khukhuz Fashion - Company Profile By Victoria Howell Being an award-winning stylist is, for many, a difficult role to handle, but for Eccles-based Beryl Phala it's proven to be a breeze.  Beryl is the designer behind the up-and-coming brand Khukhuz, a range which fuses Western and African fashion together to create beautiful hand-made traditional garments with a modern twist. The Khukhuz clothing range has a collection that has been inspired by women. Beryl said: "Women who wear my clothes are passionate and daring enough to embrace their femininity to give a vibrant and sleek silhouette." After completing a BA in Fashion from Salford University in 2004, Beryl joined the MSc in Business Management at Salford University and graduates in 2012. The designer has been invited to showcase her collection at an impressive list of fashion shows across the country: * Spring Fashion Show, Manchester (18th February 2010) * Fashion Expo, London (March 2010) * End Of Summer fashion show, Leeds (August 2010) * The Clothes Show Live, Birmingham (December 2010) * Fashion Finest Renaissance, London (February 2011) * RunWay Africa, Manchester (December 2011) * International Fashion Showcase for Emerging Talent 2012 (15 February - 2 March 2012) * Botswana Fashion Show, London Fashion Week (24 February 2012) The International Showcase 2012 run during London Fashion Week was a particular highlight for Beryl. The designer was representing Botswana at an exhibition hosted by the British Council in London. Nineteen countries participated and Beryl also acted as project coordinator for the event. One of her designs was short-listed to win the award along side top 8 other countries. Beryl later showcased her spring/summer 2012 collection to an appreciative audience during the Botswana Fashion show during the London Fashion Week which was a finale of the International Fashion Showcase on 24 February 2012. Not only does the Khukhuz collection range from daywear and evening dresses to jumpsuits and skirts, but they also offer a bespoke service. The made-to-measure service is designed to create unique pieces for those special occasions. Customers are invited to have a consultation with Beryl where measurements are taken and designs are discussed to create an outfit that is personal and individual. With the prom and graduation seasons fast approaching, this is the perfect opportunity to have an unforgettable outfit designed for your memorable occasion. With the hope of some summer sun in Salford, Khukhuz spring/summer collection has designs that will carry us ladies through all our seasonal events. From evening garden parties to glamorous nights out, the range has styles to suit any occasion. Interestingly, Beryl is keen to recycle her fabric and do her bit to support the environment. Beryl said: "I use the end of line stock and redesign them into new dresses. The stock is recycled and given a new life, which saves time and money and helps to create greener fashion." By gracing countless fashion show catwalks with their unique designs, it is fair to say that Khukhuz has been recognised for its top quality bespoke designs. Beryl told us: "I don't mass produce and all my designs are original, comfortable and made to measure. I experiment with different textures and fuse fabrics together to create something special." As well as stocking her range on the high street at Barking Boutique, Barking, 1G11 8DQ, fashionistas can find the Khukhuz range online at www.khukhuzfashion.co.uk or at www.tellusfashion.com This is an advertorial.
