GLAMOUR2GO

In 2002 – I decided to change direction completely. After much looking – I had at last found the man that I wanted to be with - so my PR and deal brokering days were numbered.

To be successful in that field you need to make your business your social life - because that is often when deals start to take shape - so it is imperative that you are socialising with the right people pretty much day and night. Obviously this is not ideal for any personal relationship to work.

Therefore I decided to have a complete change – and, of course, I love a new challenge – and so Glamour2Go was born.

By travelling a lot with my husband, who had business in Asia, I found that some dresses that I had made didn’t crease – so I came up with the idea of the little black dress in a bag – which you could either carry around or leave in your desk at the office – hence Glamour2Go.

One of the first things I did was to secure the services of the best celebrity fashion photographer in the business, John Swannell. I had met John when he did the photographs for the new models in the Highland Spring model competition – so I knew he would create the best images possible for me. He still does all our photography.

 

Glamour 2 Go Ltd created two new and innovative lifestyle brands with international appeal. With their strong images and brand names Glamour 24/7 and Glamour 2 Go had the natural capacity to become global brands - requiring no explanation or translation.

 

The business grew rapidly – but the trade wanted too many variations and numerous pieces in each collection - which meant 4 times a year – minimum twice a year.

This was far too much to take on – and the investment would have been huge.

So - as a great lover of jeans and always looking for the 'perfect pair' and never quite finding them – during this time - I spent months researching fabrics and technologies - to fulfil an ambition to come up with jeans that really enhance a woman's shape.

I was keen to develop a technology - which would help women feel comfortable in their own skins - by increasing their confidence and lifting their self-esteem.

It doesn't matter how old you are - we all want to look better - slimmer and yoIt doesn't matter how old you are - we all want to look better - slimmer and younger – and of course, fashionable!

Who doesn’t love jeans? They’re a wardrobe staple for all women – most of us have at least 10 pairs in our wardrobe – and if you’re like me - you even keep the ones you can’t get into any more. Sad but true!

So in 2009 I launched Wizard Jeans
