I have always wanted to share my love for fashion with the world and I feel privileged to have done so far and work with so many amazing people.

There is no reason that with sound investment, continued great design and a carefully created go to market plan that Foxberry Boys cannot develop into a strong brand in its own right over the next few years. The ready-to-wear market for the modern day consumer is huge and we want our share of that space”.
