Cool vibe

It was the third gala organised by Freya Rose and DJ Cuppy, ensured there was a cool vibe to keep the party swinging.

Internationally acclaimed

Style icons including, HRH The Princess of Wales, Kate Moss and Rihanna have worn her designs.

Dream to start a business

15 years ago Freya had a dream to start her own business. At the start of her journey Freya was supported by The Prince’s Trust enterprise scheme. Certainly, this was invaluable support and provided her with a loan and mentorship.

 “As a business we want to give back – it’s important to always give back.

Passionate about the King’s Trust

“Consequently the reason I’m so deeply passionate about The King’s Trust is because I have met people from all walks of life and some of the most creative and talented people have come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

“They haven’t always had the opportunity to be or do something different as they have limited or no resources to create opportunities to advance themselves.  This leaves them stuck in the poverty trap, society can be unfair and I have certainly witnessed this in the industry I work in.”

Many thanks to Sarah Standing/The News, Portsmouth for allowing us to reproduce her stunning photo of Freya.
