SOPHIE HANNAH RICHARDSON

From studying BA (Hons) Fashion with Photography at Southampton Solent University, I have built up a strong interest and skill in fashion styling, to the point where I was able to sell my designs of customised sunglasses in a pop up shop called ‘Re:So’, in Southampton. The course included a variety of aspects of the fashion industry such as styling, PR, marketing, advertising and photography. My enthusiasm lies mostly with styling, however I am confident, willing and outgoing to try new things and work in the other areas of fashion. Thinking innovatively and outside of the box are two of my aims when it comes to creativity.
