When I studied Fashion and Textiles at the University of the West of England in Bristol,I met many creative and very talented individuals.  All of which have been doing unbelievably well since graduation.  One graduated student in particular has interned with the most elite fashion brands such as: mirjam rouden, colorfield, age of reason and amanda kelly.  Even  after her busy work experience she has managed to build her own Textiles bussiness.  Sophie Pollard as I remember from my days at University was the most friendliest and very motivated young women, who always designed the most unique pieces.  I am very happy to see how well she's doing.It is a privilege to review her brand on my blog. .
