ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Hanova Studio is an independent, British, made to order fashion label founded by me, Lisa Barrett. With a background in fashion, retail & finance the foundations had been laid for a new venture to go it alone and create something alternative
Hanova Studio began its journey 01.01.20 Borne out the idea from my hometown of Hanover, Brighton. A play on words - HAN: How About Now? & NOVA meaning new, a bright star...to begin my new slow fashion brand
Designed and made to order in Brighton. I want to answer the question: Who Made Your 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, undertake the web design & development, create the content for social media, source the fabrics, I am my own muse (for now) and I wrap, 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 using LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres
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 and learning from the experts in my niche
I'm regularly updating my journey and behind the scenes on Instagram so would love to connect with you there too
