Rich In Love Lingerie Fashion Review Presents: Glitter and the Moon
If lingerie is all about the utmost glamour of craftsmanship and beauty, then Heidi Cannon exudes just that. Anyone familiar with the United Kingdom designer and founder of leading luxury loungewear, Glitter and the Moon instantly can identify her garments by the usage of embroidery and hand finished sequins and beads.
While an inspiration of the 1950s comes to play with each design Heidi shares, “Like many creative people I think I find inspiration in many places from films to trips to new places, but vintage and retro style is a constant feature. There's a certain magical quality about it, I love exploring a bric a brac boutique or searching through an old haberdashery shop and the fabulous pin-ups and vintage starlets of the past are a great source of inspiration.”
With a boutique collection that consist of a style spectrum ranging from bed jackets, French knickers, and robes they all provide a fashion relic of a beloved era from a time where women lived a life of extravagant glamour. With Glitter and the Moon you too can live a life of retro glamour, which is depicted by its signature sparkle of bespoke embroidery. For the year ahead, Heidi’s designs will continue to model after a motif stemming from the 1950s which will incorporate a number of new embroidery designs and product line which will include additional loungewear pieces, nightdresses and her widely popular French knickers.
Heidi began her career in the 2007 with an electric background in both fashion and illustration as she ran a successful stationery brand prior to working in commercial fashion design. It was only a matter of time until her reflection of a love for vintage fashion, illustrations and embellishments would develop. “I founded my own company Bedcrumb in 2007 where I sold fashion accessories such as purses and make-up bags which featured my illustrations, along with a range of cards, I sold to a range of gorgeous independent shops and online. The popularity of the cards resulted in Bedcrumb developing into a small bespoke stationery business,” she recalls. After several years of grand connections through a number of client and stockists a decision for personal change occurred with the launch of Glitter and the Moon in November 2015.
Thanks in part to a small range of personalized cards and stationery on the popular website nothonthehighstreet.com where you can find a variety of products by Bedcrumb, as a smaller range than she use to offer provides assistance is supported by Glitter and the Moon. I’ve found Heidi’s craftsman, retro-inspired style, and keen eye of detail to grace each design she hand beads.
From a private collection of luxury robes my mind inevitably couldn’t find an comparison, as the “Just Rose Robe’ possesses a fit that flatters its glamorous ¾ length sleeves and long waist that cinches. The beauty to all of Heidi’s designs lays with her personal touches from each of their beautifully hand finished sequins and beading with each piece empowering your inner scarlet.
Case in point, I would highly recommend and would garnish myself with a number of Heidi’s designs as I have previously have had the opportunity to model her satin bed jacket and French knicker, which I felt was any vintage girls must-have. For those seeking a feeling of sexiness and romance it’s truly possible with Glitter and the Moon.
