"Individuality and creativity
are very important elements of fashion. The Stepney Street
project, developed and managed by Cary Gaymond, has found a unique way of utilizing some exciting
fabrics and trimmings to produce very special ‘one of a kind
clothes’. The clothes not only bring pleasure to their
wearers, but by their production bring valuable employment to Barnardo’s projects and help raise valuable funds for
Barnardo’s. I wish Stepney Street every success."
