The designer
When sport inspires art
"For me designing is not just a profession, it is an all consuming passion. Since my first year of secondary school, I just knew where I was heading and was preparing for the world of fashion from a tender age.
Being fully aware of each step of the production is a must. The idea, the initial concept, the drawing is but the first step. A professional designer has to know and understand whether the design of her dreams is really feasible. To get from the drawing board to reality, I understand fabrics and all their idiosyncrasies, cutting, tailoring and the techniques to bring my designs to life."
The brand LotusRomeo
"I have another passion too, horses. I realised early on that when I rode I was not particularly comfortable and was unimpressed with what was available. It seemed a natural choice for me to bring my two loves together, to design clothes for riders. My target was to create a brand which honours the roots of equestrian sports, never forgetting the elegance and nobility of the sport but taking advantage of fabric technology to create a vibrant, fashionable brand.
LotusRomeo celebrates the modern but keeps to the rules of classical elegance. Jackets and Tails that Riders can wear proudly and comfortably for years knowing they look fabulous for every show and class."
