Own your style, Own your story!
Hey, I’m Rachel and I am Bette Love.
​
It’s an odd name, I know! It started as a joke from a friend obsessed with Coronation Street, who loved the line, “Can I have a hotpot, Betty, love?” So, Betty became my nickname. I later changed it to Bette, a tribute to my late mum, a huge Bette Davis fan.
My love for fashion began with Music TV. Music and fashion were inseparable—you could tell someone’s favorite band by their look! I’ve embraced many styles, from ‘70s retro in the ‘90s to goth after discovering Depeche Mode via Placebo. But for me, Bowie is God.
My style is a mix of the genres that shaped me, reflected in my eclectic wardrobe, music, and illustrations. But those with a more personal, alternative fashion rarely appear in mainstream fashion and wedding media.
​
But it stops here!
​
I’m here to celebrate people like us—those who create their own style and refuse to be told how to look or dress by social media trends or the latest "dos and don’ts." Honestly, can they just stop already?​
​
We make and break our rules, mixing them up as we please.
​​
If you want to have a disco/ goth fusion wedding. I support you.
​
Or maybe you fancy a Leigh Bowery inspired day with sprinkles of New Age philosophy. Again I support you.
If you’re looking for an illustrator to change how you look, I’m not the one for you
In a world that often tries to shape you, be your own rebel rebel and embrace your changes. Loving yourself isn’t about being a fashion icon for others—it’s about feeling like a hero in your own skin. Whether you’re a Lady Stardust or a wild eyed boy from Freecloud, your style is your golden years, a celebration of who you are. So step out onto your moonage daydream and shine—because let’s dance to the rhythm of our own souls!
With modern love

Yes, I’ll highlight what you love most about yourself, but I won’t make a curvy body thinner or add curves to a naturally slim one.
​
You are beautiful as you are.
​
​Read that again—out loud, with feeling!
​​This is where I’m supposed to sell myself, but I’d rather let my work speak for itself. If you’re curious, you’ll find more in my blog!
​
​​Instead I’m going to finish with this. (Bonus points if you found all 10 song titles)
