Been working in the fashion industry for around 8 years. Mostly as a sales assistant with extra duties such as managing social media, finding new designers to the stores, visual merchandising, as well as strong customer service and up-selling.
For the last two years I have been running a small fashion label - S-BA. Everything is designed and made in house. It is a slow fashion brand, going against the norm of traditional seasons. Aiming to have as minimal wastage as possible.
