Q. Have you worked with any well known names? A. I have worked with The Only Way Is Essex ' s Jessica Wright. Jessica co-designed our ' Love Me In Lace ' black set. She has her own lingerie shop( With Love Jessica) so has a good eye for what is popular and what sells well.
Q. Do you prefer working on photoshoots on location or in a studio? A. I much prefer working on location. I think the location sets the scene and can create the right mood for everyone on the shoot which in turn plays a big part in creating the final images.
Q. What do your friends and family think of you being a designer? A. They think it’ s great! I was never going to have a‘ normal’ job! I love a challenge and love working for myself, even if the hours are twice as long as a 9-5 job. I would not have it any other way.
Q. What ' s the farthest place you have travelled for a show? A. I have been to Paris but I plan to launch the brand in the US in the next couple of years.
Q. What preparations do you do before a show, or before launching your latest collection? A. I think the key to being successful in business and to have a successful show is to be organised. If you plan and organise everything then you are focused and prepared.
Q. What do you think makes a good designer? A. Passion, creativity, and most of all hard work.
Q. Who is your personal favourite fashion designer and why? A. Gabriel Chanel. I worked for Chanel for three years and trained at their London academy. I learnt a lot about Chanel and her life and how she created what is in my opinion the best brand in the world: Chanel! It’ s a rags to riches story, which I love.
