Natalie B Coleman tells all on starting up her own label

16th November 2012

 

So today we had Natalie B Coleman come into uni and present a presentation on her career to date. It was really inspiring how she has created her own label in her home town of Ireland just working out of her garage. I also learnt that making contacts is key in getting your work out there and noticed.

It was nice to hear how her designs were inspired by her own life experiences, "All the Jewellery I Never Got" shows a playful side to all those guys who never put a ring on it. I feel women relate to the fun personal elements of her work.

I had not heard of Natalie B Coleman before today but after seeing her collection and hearing how much hard work she has put into her label, I look forward to seeing what her next collection will be.
