About Me

Born in rural England, i trained in hairdressing then pattern cutting whilst involved in fitness/weight training as a hobby. Moved to London and worked in Kensington market selling vintage clothing. Then trained in photographic make-up with the intention of becoming a make-up artist/stylist. Took an opportunity to move to L.A wholesaling denim and vintage clothing. Opened and closed a vintage store on Melrose Avenue, then certified and took up fitness training as a profession, still dabbling in vintage clothing. With thoughts of becoming involved in fashion/ vintage/retro arts again, im here to gather inspiration and network with 'like minded' others. From bands to photographers, clothing stores to designers and retro pin-up art to the avant-garde. All creative sites are welcomed and appreciated.
