Many people dream of starting a fashion brand.
The combination of a doing something creative with the glamour and energy of catwalk shows and photo shoots can be intoxicating.

In this episode she shares a ‘raw and real’ look at what it’s like launching a brand - and taking it from being a personal project into a business.
