Calling Redbridge creatives! An entrepreneurs club and meet up with speaker Isatu Harrison 21 July 5.30-7.30

The Sophia Hubs weekly entrepreneur’s club will be held at Redbridge Enterprise Desk on Thursday 21st July 5.30-7.30.

Isatu HarrisonOur speaker will be Woodford fashion designer Isatu Harrison who is Director of Izelia fashion. She will talk about her growing fashion business with a focus on knowing your customers and finding the right people who are the decision makers in a company.

We are excited by this as it could be the launch of a Redbridge creatives collaboration. Isatu has established that her customers are in other boroughs, Spitalfields is particularly fertile ground, but she wants to connect with Redbridge creatives and is looking for a shop in this area as it is more affordable.

So here’s a call out…. If you are a start-up business, or small business, or an artist or creative as a hobby…. Come along, network, hear from Isatu, get practical help and let’s see where this goes. Isatu Harrison design

Isatu says: I draw on my Sierra Leonean heritage to create a modern and sophisicated range of ready to wear pieces. Izelia combines African wax prints with contemporary cuts and is a brand for those who want to make an impression in stylish and colourful outifits with high quality fabrics with precise tailoring.
