BEHIND THE BRIGHTON BRAND
Hanova Studio officially began life on 01.01.20 this small independent womenswear label was borne out the idea from the owner's hometown of Hanover, Brighton. A play on words - HAN: How About Now? & NOVA meaning new, a bright star...to herald the beginning of my new slow fashion brand.
Designed and handmade to order in Brighton. I want to be able to answer the question when someone asks: Who Made My Clothes? This is my purpose. Well made clothes, made for comfort, trans-seasonal that are introduced throughout the year to be styled and layered your way
​
From my home in Brighton, I design each piece, I do the web design & development, create the content for social media, source all the fabrics, I am my own muse (for now) and I pack and dispatch all orders. I work with 2 amazing local seamstresses who bring the creations to life.
I use some deadstock fabrics and where possible and have started exploring the sustainable side of fabric sourcing. I am still learning and evolving
​
The line drawing is a scene of one of the many hilly roads in Hanover, Brighton - Southover Street which formed part of the inspiration to get started on my own. Using the hill analogy to start the climb until I finally reach the top. With classic and vintage styles in focus with one of my favourite trends - Sports Luxe, I want to bring a sense of fun, attitude femininity and empowerment with my little start-up brand. Keeping in mind the values of a slow and steady approach to fashion -consciously.
Collaborating with like-minded people, friends, other local businesses and listening ands learning from the experts in my niche
