About
I'm Jemma Persson, a fashion designer specialising in womenswear based in Manchester. I am influenced by my own personal interests and previous fashion styles I'm passionate about. This fuels my creativity for design as I have a personal approach to my practise. I love what I do, and adore the creative process; its addicting and has endless possibilities. I have a strong interest in styles from Japan which I like to combine with western styles. Please take the time to look through my projects and explore my practice.
