About

Hello, my name is Kim Kensley.
I have been working in the fashion industry for over 20 years. Working my way up from packing boxes in a designers show room to being Head of Design for a leading South African online retailer. I have been travelling to the UK, Europe and the US for many years doing market and trend research. For over 18 years I have had to research trends and sales to design ranges for the South African ladies market. Within this space a knowledge of garment construction and fabric was essential.
I work extremely well within a team, I am also very disciplined and work well remotely within deadlines.
