I met Anne when out of boredom and the recession of 2008 I decided to open a small shop in Camden in 2010 . Anne would come into visit and offer advice with her vast knowledge of the design trade which I very much appreciated and enjoyed. She was always beautifully dressed . I am so glad that I had the chance to have her grace my life.
