- I’m May Cortazzi, Founder of Regenerate Clothing and Director of Fashion at The Shop, Nottingham. In addition to this, I’m an ethical fashion campaigner and mentor.
For the last 12 years, I’ve worked within the fashion industry, for a variety of companies, which include:- Boxfresh, Maharishi and Maria Chen. Gaining wider experience, I have variously worked as a: - factory worker, technical assistant, designer, international sales rep, buyer, stylist, model scout, lecturer and NGO worker. These experiences have helped to develop my enormous passion and drive, leading me to run my own ethical fashion label called Regenerate.
My involvement within The Shop, has enabled me to create events, workshops and exhibitions with film makers, artists and designers, giving freedom for creative people in Nottingham to work together and express themselves.
Leading in a different capacity, I have also run International education campaigns and workshops. All these initiatives are designed help to educate our future generations about the industry and what we can do to improve the world of fashion in a practical, exciting way.
All of my work has been inspired by my work at The Barli Institute for Rural women, India, a charity helping women from remote villages develop skills to create an income for themselves.
