About me
My name is Harry Cunnew, I am currently a Visual Merchandising Manager.
I have been a stylist for 6 years working for various companies such as Tommy Hilfiger and Marks and Spencer where I have been a stylist and worked my way up to visual supervisor before getting the visual manager role.
I have a bachelors degree from the London College of Fashion in Fashion Illustration. I am a very creative person who isn’t afraid to think outside the box or voice my opinion. I am currently responsible for the appearance of a flagship store in the North London Region which covers everything from mannaequin styling, window set up, store layout etc.
I have a great knowledge of fashion, trend and styling. As a fashion illustrator I use my skills with colour balance and silhouette making to create exciting and innovative styling choices always making sure to be bold and eye catching whilst also being commercially minded making profits across the stores.
