AN ESSEX reality star has called upon the talents of a Burnley fashion designer to supply clothes for her boutique.

Carrie-Ann Kay, who works from her home studio in Harle Syke, has been asked to make dresses for The Only Way Is Essex actress Danielle Armstrong’s shop, which is simply called Danni.

The former Burnley College fashion lecturer is no stranger to the cast members of Towie, having being asked to supply clothes for stars of the show for the past year.

Carrie-Ann owned a fashion shop, ARTisan, in Burnley, but now focuses on running fashion label Rene K, which she founded in 2003 while studying psychology at the University of Leeds.

The label has provided many dresses for a host of celebrities, including Danielle, Jasmin Walia, Chloe Sims and Ferne McCann from the show, plus singer Mutya Buena from MKS (formerly the pop group the Sugababes).

Former Habergham High School, Burnley, student Carrie-Ann, said: “I was thrilled to be asked to produce clothes for Danielle’s boutique.

“I went down to her shop to meet her and supply dresses for her prom event on February 1.

“Last week we launched the clothing range for her online site and we are already taking orders.

“I am making a range of items including dresses, two pieces, trousers and swimwear. Hopefully over the coming months we will be adding more to the range.”

Last year Carrie-Ann crafted six couture bridesmaid dresses for another Towie star, Leah Wright, for her wedding in Spain.

The ceremony appeared in celebrity news magazine OK, and was broadcasted during the current series of Towie.

Carrie-Ann is due to move her studio to Trawden where she plans to expand her team with the hopes of producing clothes for more boutiques.

Rene K will also soon be launching a website with model Vogue Williams as the face of the range.
