Happy 1st Birthday Sheer Chemistry
Congratulations to Tahlia Gray (New York, March 2011) on the first birthday of her company Sheer Chemistry, tights for women of colour. What a year she has had, a highlight of which has been supplying the tights for the Kingdom Choir. Led by Karen Gibson, they gave an unforgettable performance of "Stand by Me" in Westminster Abbey at the recent Royal wedding of HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Tahlia describes how they "brought style, grace, and FLAWLESS LEGS to the ceremony. We were truly blessed to be part of this historic event!"
Throughout June Sheer Chemistry has been celebrating in many ways, such as holding an Instagram competition with weekly tights giveaways; appearing at Pop-up Brixton at the Rapport Festival; and the introduction of new Brand Ambassadors, Chidi and Chinwe of TOOCHI Music – singers, songwriters, record label owners; and founders of TOOBEE initiative, and African education program that promotes Performing Arts for girls in schools.
