North East Designer Kate Fearnley announces closure after 24 years.

Last Tuesday, North East designer Kate Fearnley, heartbreakingly announced that she will be closing the doors to her business after 24 years in business. She posted the upsetting statement on Facebook and said that her business has been her “absolute world” since her early twenties.

Throughout her career Fearnley had designed so many beautiful designs, whether it was a glamorous gown for a bride or prom girl. And, during that time she won several well-deserved awards: she won National Winner at The Wedding Industry Awards for Best Wedding Designer, twice! As well as the Cosmopolitan Entrepreneur Fashion Designer Award.

This Sunday, October 19, Fearnley is holding a Closing Down Sale event at Rudby Hall, where she will be selling the last of the stock that she has left.

She expressed her gratitude to all the women who let her design their gowns: “But the heart of it all has always been my clients. Designing gowns for brides on the most important day of their lives, creating prom dresses that made young women feel confident and beautiful, helping people feel amazing in something we had created, that’s been our mission. To every bride who trusted me, every boutique who believed in me, and everyone who wore one of my designs: thank you. You’ve given my work meaning and I can’t thank you enough for all the special connections I’ve made with you all over the years.”
