Jade Parfitt

I have lived and breathed the Fashion Industry for the last 25 years, starting out as a model aged 16 and working with some of the industry’s most inspiring people.

While modelling remained my first passion, I went on to work for Vogue covering fashion shows and major events as their main presenter, I regularly host panel discussions, and have produced charity fashion shows and exhibitions benefitting a number of charities close to my heart.

When I moved to Bath 5 years ago, just in time to have my third child, I started dreaming of bringing fashion with me to my new favourite City, and I am so excited to be gathering a fantastic team around me to make this event everything I could hope for.
