The show must go on...

Well the Hoefkens and Hannah : Dungeness show at Studio1.1 has now finished but the work continues.
Kester Hoefkens and Hannah Yate



The Private View Opening was a great success with a huge number of people coming through the doors. 
There was a great response to our designs and over the following week of the show we received more praise for our work, with designers and trend forecasters showing particular interest.


Hannah and Kester both sold items directly during the show and made good contacts with retailers and producers, they also had designers approach them with an eye on future collaborations.
