ALLY CAPELLINO CELEBRATES 30 YEARS WITH EXHIBITION AT THE WAPPING PROJECT
Only on until 6th June - this walk down memory lane for me is a reminder of one person’s fabulous vision. Alison Lloyd aka Ally Capellino was one of the first people I met in the “fashion business” I think it was 1986…
I had bought some of her clothes at a sample sale, and we then met at a trade show. My twin brother Paul and I did a stint of modelling for the house - catwalk, brochures etc., and have been friends ever since.
Really interesting to see the progression of the brand from its 80’s clothing origins through to utility accessories collections today.
