“Now that women are beginning to be heard, where are the women who look just like me?” asks fashion creative and all-round inspirational ball of fabulousness Karen Arthur. The last couple of years has seen a boom in rich and famous white women becoming louder about menopause, so it’s refreshing to hear other voices. Arthur is warm and friendly, bringing reassurance to Black British women who might have hidden their symptoms. She’s keen to celebrate their lives, too, and there’s so much to be learned from the discussions that often run deep”.

STYLING

I absolutely LOVED my Wear Your Happy Virtual session with Karen Arthur. She helped uncover beautiful vintage articles of clothing that had been stored and unworn for ages, bringing them back to life and wearing them in a way that fit with my lifestyle. She inspired me to infuse my style with joy, colour, pleasure and vitality. Highly recommend this session with Karen!

BESPOKE clients:

“Wore the frock yesterday to a formal meeting. I made a big entrance feeling strong and capable. It’s true the important thing about clothing is how it makes women feel. Consequently I had a brilliant day gaining much strength and purpose from my clothes”.

TRAINEE SEWING WARRIORS

“I found Karen on YouTube and found her to be so inspirational. Soon I started sewing lessons with her. Though my time with her was very brief I must say she a gifted teacher who makes you feel at ease from word go.
Not to mention her amazing personality. She is one of the most positive and strong personalities I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in the recent years. Being in her presence really does lift ones mood. I used to travel almost 2 hrs just to attend her classes and worth every minute of.
Last but not least her sense of style so unique and fabulous. She’s exudes confidence and sense of self in the way she dresses and carries herself.
In my eyes she’s a true lioness & I am so honoured and proud to have met her”.
