Profile Information

Profession / role:

suppliers of recycled textiles and factories in Africa, opportunities and projects in Africa within the textile/ fashion industry
About me / About business or organisation:
Over ten years “hands-on” experience in the fashion industry, beginning with mastering my design credentials for leading fashion brands such as H&M and TOPSHOP, to applying my industry knowledge and design skill-set by establishing my own fashion label, Sweden’s avant garde NAKKNA, in 2003.
