Teaming up with TBC this season has been an absolute result. Their buyer’s database is enormous (as in thousands and thousands of major retailers and independents) and this is just what the Profile designers need. Maximum exposure!
Profile prides itself on being quirky and cutting edge… we have some amazing talent this season. Without doubt this Profile will be the best to date
