I spent 35 years in the corporate fashion world, starting in buying at Fenwick of Bond Street at 16 before moving into design, manufacturing and global retail. After returning from Germany to London during the pandemic in 2020, I became increasingly concerned about fast fashion’s environmental impact and the throwaway culture driven by constant trend-chasing and discounting. It also felt like the right time to fulfil a long-held dream of living by the sea. FutureLove grew from my passion for design and creating more unique clothing. My vision was to change how, why and where people shop through a more circular, sustainable and social experience, breathing new life into discarded clothing with a past, present and future. FutureLove was born as a pop-up concept, bringing our curation of circular, sustainable, second-hand style into local communities, some of which I have had more personal connections with over the years. This allows me to connect with people who share the same values and love for more unique, timeless and quality pieces.
