People will remember Faye Bamber who we supported on her "That Dress" project last year. Faye produced high end stunning outfits in creating possibly the world’s first 100% recyclable clothing item. Faye has continued to excel in her fashion studies, and as a result of another competition triumph, is currently being featured throughout summer at the Future of Fashion Exhibition at Orleans House Gallery Twickenham. Faye can be contacted at faye_bamber@hotmail.com, and we all wish her every success in fulfilling her creative dreams
