Following on from the great news in the EDP Newspaper!

I’m on the campaign to reduce the landfill implications within the footwear industry with 330 million pairs in the uk alone manufactured a year with most of these ending up in landfill. One pair takes 50 years to decompose with gases and toxins released into our atmosphere due to the manmade materials in use. The way forward is upcyling. Transforming the pairs you don’t wear or old shoes into new designs. Putting off the landfill destiny for another few years! Fast fashion is an issue.

I was invited by news anchor, Susie Fowler-watt to be interviewed on the BBC Look East news couch this week! This was in light to my new campaign - Footwear Footprint..

They filmed in the shop and then interviewed me for the evening news.

Meeting new clients to be and brides is a highlight of what we do at Milly J Shoes. The wonderful EDP Show at the Dunston Hall Hotel was a magnificent affair. We look foreward to seeing you at our next show, the Norfolk Showground, Bride Show!

We will be exhibiting at the 2019 Dunston Hall EDP Wedding show tomorrow and to hit it off, we were featured in the 2019n edition of Bride magazine! See you there!

Vanilla magazine has been great supporters of Milly J Shoes and so spotting two pairs of my shoes in the magazine was a lovely treat.

According to the much respected EDP Newspaper, Milly J Shoes is the place to go for fabulous shoes, perfect for a christmas gift!

Milly was invited as an “industry expert” by the BBC for The BBC Apprentice with my designs and clips sent to the team as inspiration, the winning team used the interchangeable clip idea.

Last night the, Milly J Ming Dynasty Teapot Shoe makes an appearance too!

BBC Radio stalwart, Chrissy Jackson is an enthusiastic footwear follower and apparently was kicking herself when Matthew Gudgin invited Milly J onto his show first!

If the interview is still available, you can find it on the BBC iPlayer and looking up the Chrissy Jackson Show. Milly talks to Chrissy extensively about her life, trends and business.

I was very lucky to be interviewed on the BBC Look East News couch alongside fellow soloist, Emma Nuule. The slot was hosted by BBC stalwarts, Stewart White and Amelia Reynolds, discussing our night of performance and singing for the Mudeka Foundation.

It was a dash from the studios to the stage for the night's performance however!

Many know that I was originally trained as a professional actress and singer and the fluidity of the creative arts is very important to me.

I am thrilled to be raising awareness and singing for the Mudeka Foundation show. The foundation was established by Anna Mudeka and raises funds for orphaned children in Zimbabwe. As I too was an orphan, this is especially important to me.

I will be singing solos and alongside Soprano Emma Nuule.

Tickets are still available and the rehearsal was filmed by the BBC with Emma and I sitting on the BBC Look East couch this Friday prior to the show.

Photos are from yesterday's rehearsal.
