Last night was special 🖤
Fashion Futures officially came to life.
From ideas and sketches… to a full showcase inside Touchwood Shopping Centre.
Seeing emerging creatives from the West Midlands step onto that stage with confidence reminded me exactly why this programme mattered so much.
I’ve been really proud to partner with Solihull College to help bring this vision to life and create a platform for the next generation of talent.
This wasn’t just a fashion show.
It was proof that talent exists here.
It just needs opportunity, belief and a platform.
Proud of every single person involved.
The future looks bright ✨

🌱 Spring reset: Grow your portfolio career
You teach people things every single day.
On your stories. In your DMs. Over coffee.
What if you got paid for it? 💷
For creatives, adding workshops and teaching to your practice is one of the most powerful ways to diversify income, deepen your craft, and build community, without abandoning the work you love.
Most creatives are already qualified to run workshops. They just don’t know how to structure them.
That’s the gap the NEW Workshop Facilitation for Creative Practitioners Bootcamp fills.
In just 9 focused weeks, you’ll:
✅ Identify your workshop
✅ Design your sessions
✅ Grow the confidence to run it
✅ Add ‘workshop facilitator’ to your creative portfolio
✅ Gain financial stability
Don’t miss out!
