Becky Barnes

Becky’s mission is to help women create a personal style that is authentic. The way she works means treading as lightly and consciously as possible on the planet.

Describe yourself in a few key words A busy working mum who loves to help women feel good about themselves whilst also being kind to the planet.

What inspires you? Those who make a genuine and positive contribution to the world – in whatever field that might be.

Fashion designers/influencers? Diane Von Furstenberg and Vivienne Westwood as they truly understand the female form. They just instinctively know how to play to a womans strengths and enhance her femininity in such powerful ways. Also Safia Minney, founder of People Tree and Orsola de Castro of Fashion Revolution as they are driving such positive change within the fashion industry.

 Your personal style I’m an eclectic mix of all sorts and around 95% of my wardrobe is pre-loved finds, be it charity shop, vintage or pre-loved designer. I love my denim jackets, fun patterns and prints and funky, colourful  boots are a typical look of mine.

3 things we don’t know about you…

• I stopped shopping on the High Street in 2017.
• I was only brave enough to start wearing bright red lipstick when I hit 40.
• I’m only 5′ 2” and when people meet me for the first time they often comment that they thought I was taller!

What is your style philosophy? Style is expression, not consumption

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.” —Gianni Versace
