Steyning Shop Windows Battle it Out! The annual Best Food Theme Shop Window competition took place in Steyning last Saturday, the last Saturday of the Steyning & District Food and Drink Festival – 25 shops/eateries took part.

Jack Dunckley, Chelsea/Hampton Court award winning garden designer and owner of Birchfield Nurseries in Henfield, came over to Steyning to judge the event, and what a task it turned out to be. There were two categories covering both Foodie and non-Foodie establishments, and all of them had put so much time and effort into creating an eye-catching window based around the subject of food. Armed with a clipboard, Jack – along with the organising group – took in the long High Street, writing comments as he went. Mike Warren from Steyning Camera Club, had kindly volunteered to take pictures of the windows, which helped tremendously when the deliberation on which should win prizes took place. Originally prizes were for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places, but because of the high quality of entries, Jack added a Highly Commended Award as well. Steyning & District Business Chamber sponsored the prizes, and the winners were:

Foodie Category: 1st Prize – Truffles 2nd Prize – The Little Sweetshop 3rd Prize – Chez Joel Highly Commended – The Model Bakery

Non-Foodie Category: 1st Prize – Oxfam 2nd Prize – Vintage Home 3rd Prize – Spotted Highly Commended – The Gallery in Cobblestone Walk.

Pictures of all the winning windows can be seen at www.steyningdistrictfooddrinkfestival.co.uk

“What if Christmas, doesn’t come from a store.

What if Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more!”

Dr Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Just like the Grinch we at Steyning Arts believe that Christmas shouldn’t be about mass produced gifts from a store so we are hosting an artist and makers fair filled with unique gifts, greeting cards and decorations.

We believe Christmas time is about giving chances, so we are offering local artists the chance to showcase and sell their hand crafted art works.We know that everyone likes and deserves something different so our artists will be offering Photography, Jewellery, Painting, Stained glass, Wood craft, Textiles and Ceramics.We understand that gifts from the heart do not have to cost the earth which is why we have asked artists to produce pieces suited to all budgets with prices ranging from two to two hundred pounds. We believe Christmas is a great time for “..a little bit more” so we will be supporting “Your Space Your Time” with proceeds from the sale of refreshments. And because we all dislike paying for car parking but love a bit of cake we’ve chosen a venue with a free car park and are offering cake in our café area.The Steyning Arts at Christmas Artist and Makers Fair will be held at the Steyning centre on the 28th November between 10.30 and 4.30pm.

Who is Igor?

Who is Igor: Igor Srzic Cartledge is an internationally respected fashion expert in tailoring, designing and fashion styling with 15 years of experience in the business.

He started his fashion career in London then gradually made his name internationally. Igor’s flare for design later inspired him to launch his successful personal styling shopping enterprise, shortly followed by his growing tailoring business ‘Dandylion Style’.

Sussex Fashion Awards elected Igor as Fashion Ambassador, as well as him winning the prize for ‘Outstanding Achievement’. Integral to Igor’s talents is his bubbly personality. He has worked as a fashion stylist for Brighton’s popular radio station Juice FM which brought so much fun for him and the listeners.

Part of Igor’s busy lifestyle includes regularly being featured in national and international press. He creatively and inspirationally writes for men’s fashion magazines and has his own editorials in different magazines across the country. Featuring on Sky TV, Fox 5 News TV and various other stations across the pond is just another part of the job for Igor.

November 2015 • Village Living

With a passion for fashion and travelling, Igor has been a regular fixture at global fashion events from New York Fashion Week to Paris, London and Milan. The late Joan Rivers interviewed Igor as part of a feature for the US hit TV series ‘Fashion Police’ – one of Igor’s favourite moments to date as she was such a great icon and inspiration.

Dandylion Style: “In four short words I would describe Dandylion Style as: Unique, Bespoke, Funky and British”.

21 • DANDYLION BACK IN TIME

What Dandylion Style Offers: We offer a unique personal tailoring service for ladies and gentlemen whether it is a suit for business or weddings, or a shirt for casual wear.

With a bespoke service available to flatter you, specific measurements are incorporated to your body shape complimenting you with fabulous fitted garments made to your own design with our expertise and all at competitive prices. Here at Dandy we offer ladies bespoke and limited one-off dresses, shirts and skirts, and, of course, suits.

Gentlemen have the option to choose a traditional style or create your own fun and unique garment be it a sport jacket, waistcoat or shirt, or that a traditional looking suit has an original lining. Leaving our studio you will be guaranteed to walk with confidence owning a tailored, unique, one off outfit that was designed to your own shape, specifications and occasion, so you can be sure no one else will have it.

All of our bespoke and limited edition garments are manufactured in England and they are carefully hand sewn including stitching buttons and seams. Being ‘Made in England’ is advantageous for many reasons iincluding quick lead times on top of high quality manufacturing skills.

“If you want to feel unique and look different, come to Dandylion Style”.

Consultations / Visiting Tailoring: Consultations and fittings can be conducted in the comfort of your home or at work if you have a busy schedule. We will bring fabric and colour samples that are necessary to cater for your needs, so you can choose from our wide range of quality British fabrics including Tweed, Cashmere, Cotton, Wool and Mohair. This will help inspire you to create your perfect masterpiece. Sussex, London, Paris, New York or beyond – we are happy to come to you.

Alterations / MOT: Why not spice up your suit with our alteration and MOT service? At a fraction of the cost of a new suit, we can make your old suit look brand new, or give it a fresh new look with a funky new lining fabric, new cuff flashing or pocket details.

Our new store: The new store in Steyning High Street is filled with a new and fun collection inspired by recent business travels to America and Southern Europe. This is incorporated with warm and vibrant colours for our ready to wear collection for ladies and gentlemen’s waistcoats, shirts, skirts, dresses, socks, ties, bow ties and more.

Our Autumn/Winter 2015 collection was recently shot in the stunning location in Lake Como, Italy at Casta Diva Resort & Spa. Reknowned for its beautiful views of lake and

mountain range, this the perfect location for our photo shoot in the warm Italian sun. Famously, one of the scenes for the 2006 James Bond film ‘Casino Royale’ was filmed just around the corner.

Igor attended this September’s New York Fashion Week to gain inspiration for a new collection for Spring/Summer 2016 and, of course, to spread the word about Dandylion Style and what it offers.
