About me
Over 10 years experience as a designer in the textile industry, including 8 years spent in Asia.
I have been exposed to all areas of the business, from client requirement and design, to photo shoots and marketing concept. Being used to liaise with suppliers and factories, I understand the constraints of both small businesses and large manufacturers.
Besides my principal design activity, I run 'vic & lily', an online vintage business. Allowing me to grow my sourcing and business skills, it is also a great source of inspiration.
Work history
Designer & Consultant
'vem’ is a fashion design and consulting business set up by myself at the beginning of 2012. With over 5 years in the Fashion and Manufacturing industry all aspects of design, consulting and sourcing can be provided for by ‘vem’. With an eye for detail and strong sense of current trends and styles I am able to provide manufacturers and brands with constantly update information and designs. The experience I have gained from my years in the industry allows me to work in Ladies, Mens and/or Childrens Wear.
Currently working with UK based textile company, previous clients have been based in US and Hong Kong with projects in Womenswear and Childrenswear.
