What is your style? My style is mixed depending on where I am going. I usually like to keep it glam, tailored and clean. I love to dress up in outfits that suit my height and figure.I am only small so I have to be careful what I wear. I don’t usually follow trends. I tend to stick to what suits me. I love wearing colours that really suit my skin tone like Cream, Beige, Browns and Gold tones. I love a statement skirt and a crisp white shirt with some glamorous shoes and gold accessories. During the day I love Athleisure clothing, a nice hoodie, cool trainers and a cap!
How did you get into
fashion design? I am self taught. I was originally a stylist and sort of transitioned into fashion design by accident. I have always taken clothes and re designed them to my liking, so I bought a sewing machine and started making clothes I wanted to wear myself and it grew from there.
How do you find
the industry? Very competitive. With all the huge brands that have loads of money pumped into them it can be very hard to even get noticed. But I believe if you have a unique product that you truly believe in then others will too.
Who are your ideal
customers? My ideal customers are women like myself. Someone who wants to stand out in a crowd, who loves being complimented on their outfits. Someone who appreciates the finer details and quality of fabric
that separates them from the sea of girls wearing fast fashion brands that hundreds of other girls are wearing. She is glamorous and has a passion for beautiful things.
Who is your style icon?
Jenifer Lopez!. She screams glamour and sex appeal yet classy and sophisticated. She’s so sexy and is definitely my muse.
What fabrics appeal to
you? I love to work with unique, luxury fabrics that are very glamorous and durable.
How has the fashion industry changed with
the pandemic? The fashion industry has had to adapt and so have the consumers. It went very Ath leisure based and everyone wanted to wear tracksuits and leggings. Therefor brands had to move with the times and provide such designs. But now we are changing again and becoming more dressy and providing consumers with beautiful evening pieces now we are mostly back to normal.
How do you come up
with new ideas? I start researching ahead of time, checking out what is hot on the runways, in magazines, and what girls are wearing on social media. I tend to stick to classic designs that can be worn season to season and doesn’t go out of style. I am inspired by the people closest in my life, I love how they conduct themselves, and express them selves so freely and beautifully.
What are the three statement pieces you should have in your wardrobe this summer?
Firstly I recommend a beautiful statement skirt like one of my designs and a white oversized shirt and some fitted cream trousers. You can’t go wrong.

BUSINESS Secure Corporate and Domestic Storage in Cyprus - Peter Morton Removals Ltd
Sixteen years ago the Morton Family relocated from Essex to Paphos, with four young children. Soon after arriving Peter and Debbie started PMR Cyprus. At first it was only going to be a small man with a van service but they soon asking them to ship their goods primarily back to the UK.

Leading on from this they found partners in the UK to start importing customers personal effects back to them in Cyprus.
