Due to popular demand we’ve brought back our style & colour consultations to help customers to find their perfect pieces from our new collection. Let us take you through the style stories to find the perfect colours for you.

Lorna Wiltshire, independent British stylist and personal shopper, has also returned with us and been on-hand to teach customers about how to wear colour with confidence and taking them through which emerging summer trends are best suited to them.

The previous consultations have been such a success and we’re delighted at the response from those of you on Twitter.

The last consultation is tomorrow at the Guildford shop:

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Last Thursday evening saw a celebration of talent from photographers and all-round travel enthusiasts.

The event was hosted at the Brora Symons Street shop on behalf of Cazenove+Loyd‘s travel photographer of 2011 competition with Leica camera manufacturers.

Victoria took her family last year on an amazing Indian adventure through self-professed travel experts Cazenove+Loyd, therefore she was only too happy to supply the venue and be there to help host the eclectic mix of culture, fashion and expedition.

For many people the idea of art and shopping is paradise, but for the competition finalists paradise was captured through the lens.

When on holiday most spend their days lazing by the pool, sipping colourful cocktails and eating out every night at fine restaurants. Yet these avid travellers are busy bringing flashes of exoticism and culture to the canvas for us at home.

Every month last year a travel photograph was awarded the ‘best of the month’, as voted for by the public, and entered in to an online competition where the favourite photo of 2011 would be assessed by a judging panel of experts.

The winner was August nominee Sebastien Rombi with his South Africa shot of a rather tranquil, but stunning looking elephant cow having a dust bath in the Kruger National Park.

Not only did he receive significant recognition from his peers and fans alike, but as the winner he was given a Leica X1 camera with accessories worth £1,700.

All in all, the mingling and drinking pressed on well into the night, with our new spring collection and photography on the lips of everyone; success!

Fancy a sweet little treat whilst you do your Christmas shopping?

We have just the thing to help you along with your last minute Christmas shopping and make that stressful experience a lot more enjoyable…cupcakes!

If you’re in the Islington area next Thursday 22nd December during the evening we will be hosting a display of delicious Janet’s Scrumptious Cakery cupcakes, served with your choice of Prosecco or sparkling Elderflower.

The shop is open from 10am as usual, but cupcakes and drinks will be available from 5pm to 8pm.

Everyone is welcome for an evening of cupcakes and cashmere, especially the children, so don’t forget!

What a colourful, crazy night it was at the Brora flagship store when Louise Gray and Victoria got together to launch their collaborative collection.

Fashion press, bloggers, stylists and designers mingled in together clashing colours and enthusing about the vibrant knits.

Louise, looking beautiful in her Brora sloppy joe under her own tartan checked ensemble arrived with a gang of equally colourful clad friends including Henry Holland.

Victoria standing 6ft in Nick Kirkwood platforms stood out from the crowd in the colour blocked cropped cardigan and a dress from next years SS12 collection. Her children showing considerable fashion flair were never far from her side.

Everyone was touching and trying on the incredible collection which has been made in extremely short runs. Only 24 pieces in each design so if you want to own a piece of fashion history, get down to Symons Street or buy online…

Are you ready for this? London Fashion Week bursts out of its wrappings this week with cat walk shows and events all over London, and Brora’s Islington shop is right on trend in celebration mode.

Come and join the party with a glass of Prosecco and let our expert staff guide you through the A/W collection and into some great outfits. Textured chunky knits and a treasure trove of patterns and plaids are a hot look this season and Brora has the best of them.
