Creative Process
I'm deep in designing for my next collection right now and pondering the creative process we were taught in fashion school.  So much of my creativity now is wrapped up in creating successful ideas, ideas that are profitable, repeatable and cost efficient.

Nearer The Moon in 2017
So here is a more personal post than we usually put out to give our customers and fans some insight into what's going on behind the scenes and how that will influence the brand over the first half of 2017.  After our foray into bricks and mortar retail last year, which was ultimately hugely fun and broadened our customer base and understanding of the perception of our brand, it was also completely exhausting. I found myself making things I thought would sell rather than being true to what Nearer The... Read more...
Last Minute Lover - A Valentines guide
A comprehensive guide to buying with us this Valentines Day. Everything we have in stock ready to ship and what sizes we have them in.  Nearer The Moon is handmade, usually to order. This means when an order is placed we check stock levels of fabrics and components, find out the pattern in the correct size, cut out the pieces and stitch it all together. This usually takes 2-3 weeks, sometimes at busy times of the year like Christmas, when we have additional sales outlets or when a particular fabric... Read more...

Nearer The Moon X Burlexe
You might have seen a lot of talk about burlesque show and brand Burlexe on our social media recently and wondered what it was all about, well here's a little explanation!  We have been working behind the scenes with Burlexe intermittently over the last three years, first providing them with nipple pasties for their online store, then a special version of our quarter cup bra in their classic pink and black colour way adorned with mini jet black Swarovski crystals.    Burlexe took a little break over the last year,...

Lingerie Secret Santa
This year, Nearer The Moon got involved with something we eyed up with envy from the sidelines last year... Lingerie Secret Santa!  Organised by Karolina Laskowska and Angela Friedman, the lingerie secret santa draws out us indie designers who have been working hard since at least July (usually longer!) on our Christmas collections and treats us all to the thing we love most - creative freedom to design something or select something for a fellow lingerie lover!  It's also a great way for us to spread the word about ourselves...
