Activewear.

Not just design.

Collection of navy blue and white sportswear and casual clothing, including jackets, shorts, bodysuits, tops, leggings, and a white jersey with the number 11 and signature. The clothing features contrasting white or light-colored accents and sports-inspired designs.

Functional. Fashion-forward. Future-ready.

With a proven track record designing over 350 new styles monthly for global brands Sarah brings deep technical understanding and creative precision to every project. Having also designed for VS PINK Active, she knows exactly what makes performance garments both beautifully engineered and effortlessly wearable.

Her obsession with active and leisurewear runs beyond aesthetics. By staying closely connected to global mills, sustainable material innovators, and trade shows, Sarah ensures your collection integrates the latest fabric technology, responsible processes, and market-relevant details.

Lingerie and Nightwear

When asked on the first week of my degree course, Contour Fashion BA Hons* why we were there, I realised that I design lingerie to make people feel amazing. Underwear is proven to be the garment with the power to change our mood. (This is called Enclothed Cognition- learn more here).

As the clothing group with which we associate the most emotion, it is closest to our skin, and beautiful lingerie is a fast track to confidence.

Helping you design what’s next - not just what’s now.

Our forecasting helps bridge the gap between creativity and commercial timing, translating global movements into design direction that supports your development calendar six to eighteen months ahead.

Every brand has a story. Let’s express it through colour, silhouette, and fabric choices that feel both relevant and original. By combining cultural insight, trade-show research, and real retail data, we identify what will resonate, and when.

You’ll gain clear, seasonal narratives that guide everything from first sketches to showroom sign-off.

It’s not about predicting trends for the sake of it - it’s about giving your team the clarity to create collections that connect.

Baby & Childrenswear

💫 Why Work With Me for Your Kids’ Brand?

Because I get kidswear -both the creativity and the commercial side. I’ve spent years developing children’s and baby collections for global retailers and start-ups alike, combining deep technical knowledge with trend-led, design-thinking strategy.

I understand the delicate balance between comfort, safety, and storytelling — how to make a garment that parents trust, kids actually want to wear, and buyers can’t resist.

My process bridges creativity and practicality: from initial moodboards and silhouette planning to compliant tech packs, fabric sourcing, and vendor communication.

You’ll get a partner who’s obsessed with fit, function, and future-proof design- someone who ensures your brand stands out for all the right reasons: sustainability, innovation, and emotional connection. Whether you’re building your first baby capsule or scaling a global kidswear range, I bring structure, sensitivity, and strategy to every stage -helping your vision become retail-ready.
