Beauty in the Lonely was founded in 2010 by Catherine Rogan.
The name is a line from an Editors song, “Someone Says”.
Currently working in London, Catherine was born in Wakefield
and was taught to sew by her mum. In 1997 she made an 18th Century
gown as part of her Theatre Studies A-Level, modelled by her soon to be best
friend.
In 2010 the same best friend got married, and Catherine took
on the task of making her wedding dress. At the wedding people commented that
she should make things to sell, so later than year Catherine opened an Etsy
shop selling clothes and accessories.
Clothing ranges from formal shift dresses and corsets, to
sundresses and plant-dyed tunics.
Accessories include bridal headdresses with real pearls and brooches and
earrings made from vintage buttons.
Catherine designs the clothing she sells herself (with the
exception of corsets based on vintage patterns) and was a finalist in Sew Hip
Magazine’s 2012 Fashion Designer of the
Year competition.
Catherine is happy to take on custom orders, whether it’s a
hand-dyed scarf, a shift dress or corset, just drop her a line.
Catherine would like to thank all the talented and
hardworking crafters at Fabrication, their dedication to quality, handmade
crafts in Leeds is an inspiration.
