BFW: When did you start your business? I am in the process of developing my label.

BFW: Where are you based? London

BFW: What do you design/make? Menswear & Womenswear

BFW: Describe your designs in three words? Tailored. Luxurious. Minimal. 

BFW: Do you design and make everything yourself? Yes I design everything myself and make the more conceptual pieces, while working with a team to produce the full collection.

BFW: What is your company’s philosophy? To offer something new and individual pushing the boundaries, to create something that can transform to be multi purpose within modern tailoring for both men and women.

BFW: Who is your typical customer? My customer is someone who is into conceptual ideas and something new, also someone who wants to be at the forefront of fashion.

BFW: If you could dress one famous person, dead or alive, who would it be? Grace Kelly as she epitomised elegance and style.

BFW: Where do you see yourself in five years time? I would like to see my label further established and recognised within the high end fashion industry.

BFW: Is this the first time you have taken part in Brighton Fashion Week? Yes

BFW: Why are you taking part? I came to the event last year and was very impressed, so I thought it would be a great way to publicise my new collection.

BFW: How would you describe the event? Somewhere to exhibit my collection, where I can be more individual within in a focused intimate environment.

BFW: Do you think Brighton needs a Fashion Week to rival other cities? Why? Yes, without it creative people get lost representing themselves in other areas when Brighton stands alone as a fashion hotspot, and this should be recognised by having its own fashion week.

BFW: What type of people do you hope Brighton Fashion Week will attract? People that are looking for something different. It’s a chance for them to see a more intimate showcase, something that doesn't always come across in larger cities.

BFW: Do you think Brighton is a hub for creative people? Why? Yes I think so. They have lots of inspiring boutique shops in the laines.  Lots of
small and individual galleries also.
