Halabaloo dresses range from age 3 months to size 14 and
have two distinct styles. The casual dresses are colourful and fun
with an obvious island influence, made up of prints that she designs
herself and which often include embroidered details such as pompoms or three-dimensional flowers. The formal dresses are just as
feminine and ‘girly’ but embellished with luxe materials such as
sequins, satin, tulle and ribbon.
Halla’s passion for designing was evident and she explained
that she draws inspiration from everything around and included
designers such as Stella McCartney and fashion house Chloe who
further inspire her, as well as her husband, acclaimed women’s
fashion designer William Calvert. William joined us briefly and their
chemistry was evident, he explained that they bounce ideas off of

each other, drawing on each other’s strength and offering constant
support. They have now returned to working in the same office
after many years apart making it even easier to do so.
