Graduate Fashion Week: JUNE 2019
I was selected by a panel of judges to showcase my final collection, The Farming People, at GFW an incredible event bringing all the graduate talent across the country together. Here I was scouted by Fashion Crossover for their Graduate Talent Programme & also made some great connections within the industry.
'1883' Editorial Cover: In November 2019, one of my collection pieces was worn by DJ LOVE from Japanese band, End of the World. Which had a 3 page feature & made the cover of 1883 Magazine.
London Fashion Week: I was 1 of 4 graduates chosen to showcase my graduate collection again in February 2020 this time at London Fashion Week as part of ‘GFW Presents’. Another amazing experience, meeting so many incredible creators & also meeting Nina Vanvolkinburg, founder of RETURE which I joined in Nov 2020.
NHS Washbags: During the pandemic I spend 3 months making washbags for healthcare workers which I distributed locally to hospitals, care homes & to other other keys workers to support them & their hardwork throughout the pandemic.
TOM-O Launch: MARCH 28 2021
I launched TOM-O. This was from my studio at 8 Recreation View & where TOM-O officially went live!
'Elle' Feature: In May 2021, TOM-O got a small feature in worldwide women's lifestyle magazine, ELLE, talking about sustainable fashion & my newly launched brand TOM-O.
Selfridges: In August 2021 some of my TOM-O pieces were selected to be featured in a pop up for 5 weeks in Selfridges, Oxford Street. Part of the RESELLFRIDGES initiative my TOM-O pieces were on sale instore alongside other RETURE designers too.
Keys To Corn Exchange: At the end of 2021 I started looking into new possibilities for TOM-O, this is when I came across the Leeds Corn Exchange & fell in love!! I got the keys start of January & after a hectic month of DIY & renovations I opened the new orange TOM-O doors Feb 5th!
