Add on

Been longer than I wanted since the last one, had a lot of ideas of things I wanted to jot in here but with graduation and the big move home, plus internet problems, it's been a bit of a nightmare!

Anyways...this is just a quick add on to my previous post that I didn't get round to tagging on.

The leather bra featured in the 'Born This Way' video by Lady GaGa was infact designed and made by another De Montfort University graduate...

Leanne Brooke graduated from DMU in 2009 with a First-Class Honours degree in Fashion and Contour Design.

In 2010 she founded a luxury leather brand called, Obey My Demand (OMD), and it appears to have already picked up a bit of a celebrity following. 

    

Alesha Dixon wore an OMD white leather corset for a performance at the last year’s MOBOs, and this isn't the first time that Leanne's designs have featured in a music video. In 2009, whilst still in her third year on the course, he lingerie collection appeard in the Tiny Dancer music video by DJ Ironik, with Chipmunk and Elton John.

 

When DMU asked Leanne about these amazing opportunities she said: "It's a fantastic compliment to have people like Lady Gaga wear my designs. She's a style icon so I feel really proud.

"It came about after I featured in an online magazine. One of the stylists was friends with Lady Gaga and suggested my designs. She had a look and, before I knew it, I'd sent over a range of pieces for her to look at and was featuring in one of her videos."  

Her irresistibly lavish and beautifully naughty debut collection, contrasts soft sheer chiffons against hand studded leather. OMD effortlessly juxtaposes a naughty minx with a gentle innocence in a unique and enchanting designs...

"Empower your curves and create a statement, OMD garments crave attention and demand to be seen!"
