My love of fabrics and beautifully crafted clothes was ignited as a small child delving into our dressing up box which was filled with my grandmother's glamorous cast-offs ... from that moment I have had a lifelong passion for all things beautiful.

But over the course of my journey and my travels, I've come to realise that women need different kinds of beauty depending on where they are in life. I understand that women need to feel empowered by their clothes; at times cocooned, at others sensually swathed...

I understand the importance of the essential pieces that hold a wardrobe together.

The Wakeley woman is a multi-talented, multi-tasker and my ambition is that every one feels effortlessly stylish no matter what life puts in their way.
