Happy Birthday David Bowie!
Yep, today one of our all time favourite pop stars turns 66! He has also very excitingly announced that he is soon releasing a new album – his first in 10 years!

It’s Pure Time!
So last Sunday it was time again for the UK’s biggest trade show to begin over at the Olympia National Hall. Over at Yumi HQ we’d been planning for some time and created a retro themed and styled showcase for our wholesale customers. Showcasing our SS13 product range, we also had two lovely ladies from Sapphires Models, Amanda and Yvette, to look pretty in our dresses! Pure is always an interesting show, as the consumer fashion world heads into AW12, we’re thinking a whole season ahead to next summer, its a bit of a bizarre concept but one that we enjoy! Pure highlights were seeing our product on several of…
