Wayne Hemmingway – co-founder of Vintage Festival has always been a big supporter of People Tree. He welcomed us back to Vintage Festival at the South Bank to shoot again this year for our catalogue. The Royal Festival Hall were excited to host Vintage as part of the “Festival of Britain” to celebrate culture, art and music. 100s of Vintage clothing stands, great British food, film, arts and amazingly well dress people. I’ll be uploading my style and event edits soon and photos from the live music I saw too!

My week in Mombasa, Kenya

Usually I have designers with me, but this time everyone’s super busy – so I decided to attend the WFTO conference alone! Mad! As I told you in my last blog I barely had time to sleep.

I love fashion and trying something new, so I decided to produce a People Tree Bombolulu Workshops Fashion Show – 30 minutes before we were still finalising the outfits – OMG.

Anyway, follow me around the WFTO Conference, the voting group photo. The market place full of wonderful, Fair Trade craft – watch me design dresses at Bombolulu, styling the fashion show and stressing out!
