Coming from a bustling career as a DJ in the punk clubs of Birmington and a degree in fine arts from Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, Vivien Hoffpauir has combined edgy hardcore attitude with the delicate lolita designs and historical stylings to create a unique and wearable fashion line. Layers of frills and feminine decadence flounce out of the underskirts of the Candy Violet label, perfect for any anachronistic moppet with a penchant for poof. (A sister label, Cute Salad, offers more vibrant colors suitable for urban geishas and cyber princesses.)
Initially dreaming up visions in Rococo pastels, which is reflected in the label's website, Candy Violet has begun to explore darker themes, crafting concoctions in scrolled velvet and black lace, harkening to eras past in whimsical yet functional wear for modern day coquette. One of the focuses of the shop is to offer a variety of separate pieces that combine easily to make up an entire wardrobe, so as to maximize both fun and frugality; the label offers quality petticoats that are soft and strong enough to be worn by the adventurous sort on a daily basis, boleros with detachable sleeves that quickly transform from casual to clubwear, and dress sets that can be worn in a plethora of ways. Manufactured entirely in the USA, Candy Violet is an affordable and classic addition to your elegant closet.
