Ever wanted a little more insight into Beatrice’s career? Here’s your opportunity to trace the route she took on her career in fashion design.

Beatrice graduated from her joint course in History of Art and Fashion Design at NCAD in the very early 2000s. From there she’s been almost all the way around the world, from Milan to Paris, New York to Dallas and finally (we hope!) ending up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She recounts her journey through the fashion world.

Things we mention:
