Where does the name GROUND ONE SIX come from?
My fashion studio for six years was located in a Victorian warehouse in Clerkenwell – on the ground floor of number 16.
I began to deal in furniture, and needed a name, so settled on GROUND ONE SIX.
The name allowed me step away from the fashion connotations of my own name - and also is much easier to pronounce!
The building, Panther House, was a creative hub - full of jewellers, designers, and artists. Sadly, it has since been sold for redevelopment.
