Gift of the garb

It may come as a surprise, especially given our hip’n’swinging PRSD T-shirts, but we actually know very little about the world of fashion.

But as our dear old mudder used to say about art (and indeed literature, films and music), ‘we don’t know anything about it, but we know what we like’.

Which is why we like (recycled) fashion boutique Diva, of Totnes and Torquay, and its new website GetMyFashion.com

The site offers a mix of labels for women aged 30+, as well as individual vintage pieces for that, shall we say, ‘unique’ look.

It’s all the work of mother and son team, Angela and Aron Hosie, who opened their first shop in Totnes High Street some 20 years ago.

Angela told PRSD: “The majority of online shopping seems to cater for either extreme high fashion or top-end designers. We’ve tried to create a range which is stylish yet accessible and wearable too.

“Our aim is to be a grown-up site with grown-up fashion for the grown-up woman. We handpick pieces which are flattering on the female body rather than being just garments for the sake of current trends and fashion.”

Labels currently available on GetMyFashion are Avoca Anthology, Out of Xile, Marilyn Moore, Jackpot, French Connection, Great Plains, Firetrap, Full Circle, Diesel, Thomas Burberry, Sandwich, Farhi by Nicole Farhi, Jolie Mine, Nougat and Converse.

Which is all Greek to us, quite frankly.
