My name is Naiara Climent. I graduated from EASD Valencia, Spain with a Fashion Design Degree and completed my studies here in London, with a Fashion Design course in Central Saint Martins. Nevertheless, my experience comes from a long time ago, since I have a strong art and fashion background, as my grandmother is an oil painting artist and my mother established her own fashion boutique, still existing, 30 years ago. Therefore, I grew up among paintings, drawings and dresses, getting to know how to run a small business with love and care. In addition, my time working for different London-based companies these two last years has given me the knowledge and qualities to work in a bigger team and the opportunity to put into practice all the technical skills that I learnt during my studies.
