Fashion Wars: Felicity Brown
How did your dream of being a designer begin?
My Granddad use to make my Nan’s dresses, and I’ve always been interested in making and creating things.
What was the biggest hurdle/ if any you had to over come?
The business is full of hurdles. As a new business and a new designer in this economic climate you come across hurdles everyday. The greatest thing is we’re still here.
What have you learned from you success?
Maintain a strong vision and don’t lose focus.
What is your favorite project you have ever worked on?
I had to create two bespoke dresses for the V&A museum. This was a highlight in my career and one of my favorite projects to work on.
What do you love about fashion?
The fact that dress can completely change the way you feel. It can transport you to another place.
What are your biggest accomplishments?
I’ve always created textile concepts, and the designers I previously worked for would incorporate my concepts in their designs. But now, I have to create something from start to finish, which is challenging. That’s why once a piece is finished that’s the biggest accomplishment for me.
How can you inspire others to go for it and live their dream?
Stay true to your vision. Don’t run before you can walk, and remember that passion you have for what you do.
