Oh my God what a mad few weeks I’ve just had. I was just back from my entrepreneurship course at Babson College in Boston USA, when I had to immediately start preparing for a charity fashion show organised by the University of Durham in aid of the Princes Trust. I had a small stand at the event and was selected to show because I recieved funding from the Princes Trust to start-up my business 18 months ago, so I was delighted to get the opportunity to participate.

I had so many little problems trying to get everything ready in time, but when the stand was all set up at the Gala Theatre in the centre of Durham City it looked better than I could have hoped for. I had lots of lovely comments about the collection, and the shows on Friday and Saturday night were spectacular.

I’m waiting to hear how much money was raised over the two nights, but it all goes towards helping start more new businesses in the region.
