We are very lucky on the Rose Mills estate to have a wide range of talented people, and interesting back drops for photos!!
Here’s our photographer Justin in action shooting Charlottes men’s collection!

Day 5 - Photography.
I am very lucky in this department..
not only do I have a love for and interest in photography myself (I’ve always said if I wasn’t doing textiles I’d be doing photography!) but I also share a building with a fab photographer!!

Here’s Justin hard at work shooting the men’s collection in September. This metal workers yard on the same estate as us was an absolute gold mind when it came to this shoot, the colours and textures were just so perfect with the caps and scarves!!
