Essex girls Stevi and Em founded Ophelia Fancy back in 2005 and have
been terrorizing the shores of sunny Brighton with their quirky
double-act ever since. During this period they have successfully
decked out the most extraordinary client list ranging from Fern
Britton to The Horrors, with their bespoke and inspired revivalist
collections. Undoubtedly 2008 will witness this cult lingerie brand
push their creative boundaries to the limit, with a year rammed with
as many limited edition uniforms, boudoir lingerie and accessories as
humanly possible.
In the blink of an eye, Ophelia Fancy catapulted the brand headfirst
into the UK fashion industry with a well worthy 'Individual Designer
Award' at the Swatch Alternative Fashion Week 06. An insight and
passion for a presently blossoming burlesque scene provided them with
the perfect catalyst needed to stimulate their winning designs.
"One of the highlights of today was a troop of teen ballerinas
showcasing cute, kitsch undergarments … A sailor, nurse and soldier
burst onto the catwalk in an explosion of tap-dance moves" – Selene
Pearson for FUK
Over the past couple of years Ophelia Fancy have been proud to host
their limited editions in the legendary window displays of 'Coco De Mer'
Covent Garden, London. Moreover Ophelia Fancy have been raved about in
every publication from 'Now Magazine' to the underground rag 'Impure'
and have been backed by companies both cult and brand alike ranging
from the likes of Tatty Devine and Irregular Choice to Asahi Beer and
Sebastian Hair Products. Consequently it is imperative that you keep
your eyes peeled for Ophelia Fancy this coming year, as they are
feverishly working away on ever changing new designs and consistently
beautiful vintage inspired undergarments and curiosities.
