You.NG London

In charge of developing a collection of highly versatile and multifunctional clothing. This role has been my most rewarding and challenging role to date. Rewarding because I had full creative control over the direction of the collection, participating in every aspect of the design process, from initial sketch to final product. And challenging because I had to think in a much more technical way when designing the collection, to ensure the versatility element was functional.
