Growing up in Germany my parents were always the epitome of style. My dad was a true innovator and he founded the very successful advertising agencies Team BBDO and later Scholz and Friends. During my late teens I started working as a plus size model and continued to experience a complete lack of fashion forward sexy plus size clothing. I saw a huge opportunity in the market and decided to study fashion design at the world renowned Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. Whilst studying I opened a small shop in Portobello market with a couple of my friends and started selling my own designs.Growing up in Germany my parents were always the epitome of style.
