Since winning the GFW Gold Award in 2015, Hannah has been freelancing for Topman and working as a Menswear Designer for COLLECTIVE.
A huge congratulations to Hannah, who alongside Joel Boyd, Kyle Lo Monaco, Rose Danford-Phillips, Pelin Isildak, Daniel Crabtree, Matthew Duffy and Stacey Wall, will relocate to East London and begin designing her collection.
The emerging designers were chosen from hundreds of applicants by The House of Peroni’s creative council, which includes designer Jonathan Saunders, journalists Pandora Sykes and Alexander Fury, and British Fashion Council co-curator Anna Orsini.
