Reah has recently graduated from university with a degree in Fashion Studies and is influenced by all aspects of 40s and 50s fashion. She feels the styles and techniques demanded respect and esteem which is something she aspires for her own garments and her own collection ‘Elephtheria’ showcases this. Her motivation comes from the freedom she finds in designing clothes and the process of starting from scratch to eventually having a finished piece inspired entirely from her own image. She has already achieved success within the fashion industry producing a collection for shops based in Burton and London and has had designs sold in Japan and America. She is “honoured to have been chosen as a finalist.”
