ABOUT
From as early as I can remember, I've loved creating.
I would customise my clothes, knowing I'd be the only person wearing them. Age 10, I designed my first collection for my mother's little boutique shop in Covent Garden.

I've never forgotten the amazing feeling I felt, seeing the clothes I'd designed, hanging there on the rails. After leaving school I chose music over fashion. In the mid 1990s I joined a band as a lead singer, toured Europe, had a baby and soon three more with my wonderful husband Danny. As my children grew up, I longed for a career that enabled me to be with them - so I went back to my passion for design.
In 2001 I launched my signature range of cushions, tablecloths and lace curtains. Lace curtains led to lace dresses - and I began designing my own bespoke collections of women's and childrenswear, all vintage-inspired and lovingly handmade in Somerset, where I live with my family. This then led to a three year collaboration with the high street brand Peacocks in 2010.
I have always loved writing and producing books, and in 2013 I released 'Vintage Craft: 50 Craft Projects' and in 2014 I helped produce a book of healthy sweet treats called 'Sweetness and Light' with my lovely daughter Daisy.
As well as fashion, I have a passion for vintage decor, and I dedicate much of my time to designing interiors for myself, my friends and for private clients. In collaboration with Woodchip and Magnolia, I designed a collection of wallpaper which was a dream come true for me!
In 2019 I released 'Faded Glamour: Inspirational interiors and beautiful homes' - a book showcasing a selection of my favourite homes. In 2022 my new book 'Faded Glamour by the Sea' will be launched, celebrating my love of seaside glamour.
So now, here I am, selling bespoke dresses and decor. And that's me! So far.....
