Phlem is a directional modern culture brand for young, freethinking individuals.

In the heart of Bristol (UK) two individuals work day and night to fulfil the world's demand for funky, artistic and affordable clothing. Collectively known as 'Phlem' these people create unique clothes for young, stylish individuals. Phlem's continually expanding collection is available to buy from a market stall in Bristol and from their very own website - www.phlem.org.uk.

Nowadays many people want to forget the mishmash, experimental fashion of the 80's - with it's polka-dot skirts, off-the-shoulder Mickey Mouse t-shirts, massive earrings and big outrageous hair. However, Phlem embrace all of this... it ignites their imagination! They draw inspiration from 80's fashion and work hard to redefine it for today's youth.

Phlem is the fusion of two creative, over-active minds:

Emma - a 27-year-old Fashion Designer, Bang DJ/club night promoter, opinionated fanzine writer, 80's lover and New-Wave Punk girl.

Phil - a 27-year-old Website Designer, Bang DJ/club night promoter, Vermont band member, 60's lover and Garage rock boy.

The focus of Phlem's clothing designs has been influenced largely by Punk, 80's trash, Mod, British and Japanese street style, New-Wave, Electro and everything 60's. The clothes offer absolute freedom of expression and each garment has been made to be as individual as you are.

GlamPop is 100% supportive of designers like Phlem. These inventive people are drawing inspiration from the 60's and 80's, and whipping-up a collection of totally unique clothing designs. Very few alternative labels offer expressive one-of-a-kind styles at such fantastically low prices - I don't know how they do it!

As if they weren't busy enough creating funky clothes, the peeps from Phlem also organise, promote and DJ a special club night called 'Bang' at The Hatchet on Frogmore Street in Bristol. This is the ideal venue for creative individuals to meet-up (in their Phlem Glam-rags!) and have a good time. On the decks, the Phlem duo play some crazy tunes from a mixed bag of music genres, including: alternative 60's, Garage rock, Punk, New-Wave and Underground indie.

Not only are Phlem clothes and accessories available to buy from the website - www.phlem.org.uk - they are also for sale on the Phlem stall every Friday at St Nicholas Market, on Corn Street in Bristol. The range currently includes printed slash t-shirts, polka-dot Ra-Ra skirts and crazy t-shirt dresses for the girls, and an eclectic selection of printed t-shirts and customised shirts for the boys.

Phlem offers a fantastic collection of directional clothing. Some of the garments are so creative and vocal, they should be exhibited at the Tate!
