About me
Hailing from Buckinghamshire, Hannah was born into a food orientated household. She grew up surrounded by the pastries and delicious cake designs and creations of her mother; a chef and patissier who was creative in every part of her life. After completing a foundation in art and design at the highly acclaimed fashion school, Central St. Martins, she progressed and was accepted onto the menswear BA course. It was here that she completed a degree in fashion design, developing the invaluable design skills she now possesses. During her time at university, she collaborated with brands such as Dr Martens and Paul Smith, winning projects with fabric manufacturers and having work displayed at fashion shows in Florence. Her design, making, editorial and social media skills flourished when interning for designers such as Christopher Shannon, Richard James and William Green. at Russh magazine as a crucial part of the creative team, Kym watched the magazine rapidly develop into one of the most cutting edge and renowned fashion titles in Australia. Hannahs keen eye and creative inspiration has translated both onto the pages of her own culinary expeditions in her blog, website and supper clubs she has helped host for people such as Sophie Conran, as well as in her own fashion designs and art pieces. A bevy of requests have since been coming in; from providing her own designs for fashion shoots with Beyonce, supporting friends with starting their own resteraunts, curating their exhibitions and illustrating for magazines and other publications.
