FRANCESCA TADDEO
“This has been a wonderful opportunity to bring our sustainable fashion and textiles brands to life! Having finding a beautiful studio space in the best possible community in Fish Island, Hackney Wick where I can create has been truly life changing and feels like a full milestone in my life and career. I'm honoured to be finally given the opportunity to pursue my passion!”
