My inspiration….
A black GUCCI mini dress which Halliwell was given to perform in concerned her, as she thought it was too “boring”. Then Halliwell decided she wanted to “celebrate being British”, so she asked her sister to stitch on a Union Jack tea towel to the front as a patriotic gesture. After Karen,] her sister, had sewn on the tea towel, Geri decided to wear it whilst performing “Who Do You Think You Are” (with excerpts of “Wannabe” in) at the BRIT Awards on 24 February 1997.

The dress has become synonymous with the Spice Girls, Halliwell and the notions of Girl Power and Cool Britannia.

In 1998, a year after Halliwell performed in the dress, she auctioned it off at the London branch of Sotheby’s for £41,320 – The dress held the Guinness World Record for the most expensive piece of popstar clothing dealt at auction when it was sold.

I have shown the topper on a union jack Dr.Marten boot.
