Background

About Sarah Platts

Design Manager passionate about building considered, innovative and commercial product ranges. I have a broad knowledge and enthusiasm for the industry - particularly swim, underwear, and sportswear; which is where my key skills and proven track record lie. I am at my most effective when building elevated and cohesive assortments for an evolving market. My achievements in apparel extend beyond design. At Speedo within my first year I stripped back the critical path process, which decreased design to handover from the traditional 4-5 weeks to under a week and at e-commerce start-up Grana I established in less than a year 5 new categories for male and female. Grana also secured over 50 global publication features due to my debut sportswear range alone. My designs have featured in VOGUE, ELLE, InStyle, Glamour, Marie Claire, Hypebeast, Womens Health, Shape, Popsugar, and on This Morning. And worn by Lily Collins, Halle Berry, Rita Ora and British surfing champion Lucy Campbell among others. Previous to this my graduate contour collection was selected to show as part of London Fashion Week, and featured on WGSN.
