I do love what I do.


Thought I give you a sneak peek as to what I've been up to at work today...somedays it's just fun.
It's getting close now to the end of our season SS10....samples are arriving...some looking beautiful, others disappointing and not quite we expected, but that's part of the process particularly when working in Italy and with Italian suppliers, it's a strong learning curve for me, especially when coming from Abercrombie, where communication, structure and process were fundamental...words which are now being used a little more often since the Brit arrived!
Any how I am very excited about a new mini collection that we've called 'Artist Studio' it's a slight departure for Franklin from it's graphic driven, athletic line but still within vintage, it's allowed me to create a product that I am personally very passionate about and that I hope can really inspire a new direction for the Franklin woman....
