Chic Freak

Chic Freak, 355 Portobello Road, W10 5SA.

The Chic Freak label is the brainchild of Tamarisk East-Rigby, whose inspiration arose from her days working at Hyper Hyper in Kensington.

Tamarisk studied History of Art for several years, followed by Fashion Illustration at the prestigious London College of Fashion. Knowing her love lay in clothing, she quickly jumped to Costume Design for film and theatre, which allowed her to be more creative and flamboyant. Galliano was a huge inspiration for Tamarisk at this point which was apparent in her work.

Tamarisk has taken her love for colour with her, transgressing from buying and selling to creating her own collections. Chic Freak now have their own range of 'Le Macs'; PVC macs made using PVC with lace inlays ranging from Blue, Pink, Purple, Black and White. Le Mac has been a favourite amongst many celebrities including Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen, Perrie Edwards from Little Mix, Kate Nash and Shingai from the Noisettes.

Tamarisk is now preparing for the release of Chic Freak’s Autumn /Winter 2014 collection, which is a progression from their Le Mac range with the further development of PVC as the main material for their feminine, fun and flirty collection. Colour was, and still is, an important part of Tamarisk’s creative lust, and Chic Freak’s Autumn /Winter collection does not break away from this.

Chic Freaks has a make-up and styling studio in a private space behind the shop’s bustling front of house. Stylists and magazines are welcome.
