About me / About business or organisation:

I graduated from the University of Northampton last july, after making a ethical, upcycled collection that went to catwalk. Since then, I have started my own label, REtrose, and ethical Label, that aims to upcycle the old and give it a new lease of life.

Career history / Company history:

After working with the Hackney based company Fabrications at the design festival in 2010, I made my own ethical graduate collection. This collection gave me great opportunities in the ethical fashion sector, like working with Christian aid, at LFW to promote the use of ethical textiles in the fashion industry, and exhibiting at the good fashion show.I was also nominated as one of the top 10 ethical fashion designers of 2011 by the ethical fashion blog.
