In today’s Episode Nicole speaks to Emily Harris all about her bespoke fashion coaching company ‘Excel in Fashion’ Nicole personally coached Emily during the lockdown, who impressively after many years working in some of the most impressive fashion sectors in the UK and beyond - decided to set up her own business.

Being personally hit by the pandemic and out of work after being made redundant, she took it upon herself to scoop up all the information she had learnt being an employee and offer a service to the sector that she knew was in demand and needed.

She now coaches and helps those wanting to start-up companies in fashion, whether it’s creating their own brand or promoting products - she talks openly with Nicole about the way she works with them from the very beginning on ALL the processes they need. A strategic woman with a soft heart and a real passion for people, she talks to Nicole about what she enjoys the most. Sharp-witted and incredibly talented, Excel in Fashion is a fantastic way for Emily to give back to a community she worked within for years but perhaps hasn’t had the support new businesses need in this industry.
