From Miranda Priestly to Mrs Doubtfire, a pop culture-inspired brand has popped up at Norwich Market.
Cor Blimey has opened at stall 13, opposite The Garnet pub, selling clothing and gifts designed and created by business owner Ali Cottrell.
Mrs Cottrell, 41, studied textile design at Norwich University of the Arts in her early 30s, after following her passion and leaving a job in the oil and gas industry.

She started Cor Blimey in late 2020 and she screenprints onto t-shirts, made of 100pc organic cotton, from her studio in NR3.
She has a thriving website that ships products across Europe and beyond to locations including America, Canada and Australia.
With the online side of the business booming, she wanted to do a pop-up stall to grow her Norfolk customer base.
She said: "I used to do loads of markets but I have had health problems in the last few years, which has meant I have been unable to do in-person events.
"Now I am starting to feel better I want to build up my local following again."
For sale at the Norwich Market stall are a range of t-shirts, in sizes XS to 5XL, inspired by films and TV shows like The Devil Wears Prada, Mrs Doubtfire, Bridget Jones's Diary, The Vicar of Dibley and Schitt's Creek.

She also sells tote bags, tracksuits, embroidered hats, prints, mugs, stickers, tea towels, posters, sweatshirts and bracelets, alongside gifts inspired by Norfolk landmarks.
Mrs Cottrell added: "My products are fun and a bit silly - I want to make stuff that makes people happy and I am inspired by pop culture.
"The products at the stall are slightly cheaper than online and there are some new designs."
Cor Blimey is open 10am to 4pm until June 1 (closed May 26).
