14. “Who said romance is dead?”
2012, Collection by Hannah Miles
For her final major project at Loughborough
University, Hannah Miles created a beautiful display
of hand drawn, digitally printed garments, drawing
inspiration from the life cycle of flower and the
beauty they hold once they are deceased. She titled
this collection “Who said romance is dead?”
Hannah’s collection was very well received by
members of the public and examiners and earner her a
spot at London Design show “NEW DESIGNERS”. After
displaying her collection at New Designers Hannah
caught the eye of fashion and interior company Laura
Ashley and became the first independent designer
they had purchased a print from in the history of their
business. Hannah also received much interest from
overseas and through her display of talent and her
confident personality, she was offered a spot working
as a print designer for a global fashion accessories
company based in New York City, Collection 18.
Within 3 months of graduating Hannah was launching
her successful design career in New York City.

Fashion enthusiast Hannah Miles has had an eye for style and an interest
in trends from a very early age. Having realised one of the most common
questions she was asked by friends was “Where did you get that *insert
item of clothing* from?” She spotted an audience for her fashion choices.
After landing in New York Hannah was inspired by all the opportunities on
her doorstep so she started a fashion blog which she titled “M/LES”
websitemiles.com.
PHOTOGRAPHY // INDESIGN // LIGHTROOM // ILLUSTRATOR // PHOTOGRAPHY // WEB DESIGN // WORDPRESS // CONFIDENCE // TREND RESEARCH // FASHION FORECASTING // COMMUNICATION // WRITING // COMMUNICATION
PRESENTATION // NEGOTIATION // CAD DESIGN // PUBLIC SPEAKING // TEAM LEADING // ART DIRECTION // STYLING // MODELLING // TIME MANAGEMENT // TRADE SHOWS // SOCIAL MEDIA // FASHION SHOWS // TARGET AUD
Hannah’s quirky style was soon picked up by many
fashion followers around the globe and she was
able to spread her audience overseas and grow her
following using her social media platforms.
Running a fashion blog has allowed Hannah to grow in
many skill sectors. Along with important factors such as
time management, social media management and fashion
forecasting, the effort and professional approach Hannah
has to her layouts for each post has developed her already
expert skills future in CAD programs such as Photoshop,
InDesign, Illustrator, Lightroom and many more.
Hannah layers her clothing to maximise the use of each individual
item and incorporates prints, patterns and different silhouettes to
create what she has coined the “M/LES STYLE”. All of Hannah’s
fashion posts can be found on quirky blog websitemiles.com.
