Bio
Graduating with a first class honors degree in Fashion: Design with Marketing in ‘92, I cut my teeth at French Connection becoming Head of Buying and Merchandising, leaving in ’99 to set up my own business. It was during this time that I discovered a great passion for accessories – particularly footwear.
Inspired by pilgrimages to the footwear boutique Vierre in Milan, I launched the London based independent Scorah Pattullo accessory boutiques.
The first of its kind in the UK, described as “an independent haven for shoe addicts”.
Labels included Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Christian Louboutin, Jil Sander, YSL, Lanvin, Miu Miu, Dolce e Gabbana and Sergio Rossi.
My own eponymous footwear collection followed, working with designer and best friend, Rikke Hjelde, produced in Italy, gaining accounts with high profile international retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Opening Ceremony, Dover Street Market, Shopbop.com, Matches, Saks 5th Ave, Villa Moda, Footcandy and Penelope.
During this time I collaborated with Marios Schwab to develop his runway footwear ranges; stunning and technically daring, an elevated and truly artisan experience.
My time at Kurt Geiger offered a valuable insight into the workings of one of the most successful footwear high street brands in the world. Responsible for design and buying the Kurt Geiger London collection – I successfully transformed the range from a heavily discounted position in 2008 to become the signature range for the business.
