'...I passed the basic tag to Zara, she worked on it and the result is here to see! Excellent, funny and old school like your dad is. The gold you see is hand stitched. This alone shines in my opinion. What more can you ask?! I'm glad to inform all the ladies that at Dream Factory, Zara customizes even bras. To sum it all in one word in Manchester steez... "big"!'

'Described as "magic and sex appeal" what more could you want.  Zara Khalique's designs are taken from simple inspirations from her local environment, music scene and everyday life to make some very unusual clothing and accessories.  The tees and hoodie designs are my favorite. Need to put a couple of them on my birthday wish list.  These are guaranteed attract admiring, as well as confusing, looks from people which makes me love the collection even more!'
