I have successfully run my own Women's Fashion retail, wholesale and design business for the past 18 years. I understand women's fashions and what clothes mean. My specialtiy is to read clothing as a form of communication of an individuals personality or a reflection of the mood of our times. I understand the construction of clothing and have extensive knowledge of the use of fabrics and the cut of garments. I have produced several brochures, newspaper articles and copy for advertising purposes.
