I started in the fashion industry 12 years ago, worked my way up to buyer level working for many high-street & designer brands including Vivienne Westwood. From working in industry I developed a deep understanding & concern for the need for sustainable fashion. This led me to found Fanfare Label; a contemporary sustainable clothing brand.
