Bozena Carter
Profile
Paper dolls. This is what I blame for my obsession. When I was a child growing up in Poland I would spend countless hours dressing them up in my own paper clothes designs…making sure my favourite doll, Beata, had the prettiest dress of all. I was lost in my own fantasy world and I loved.
I have been designing and making clothes for over a year now. Recently launched my male collection. I have been awarded Local Designer of the Year in 2011 in Leeds Retail Awards which helped to grow my brand nationally and internationally.
Over last year I have been showcasing in many shows in USA and Europe.
