With the high street in lockdown, these unique, boutique-style labels have been breathing new life into our wardrobes – and dominating the way we shop
Clare Hornby started ME+EM in 2009, with the aim of providing busy women with a quality working wardrobe at an accessible price.
I began my career at Harrods where I was able to invest in luxury clothes thanks to my employee discount. However, when I moved into advertising that was no longer possible – I couldn’t afford them. It made me want to find a way for women to enjoy luxury fashion at an accessible price point.
