Jules Hunt’s sweet new fashion range
Artist Jules Hunt has extended her creative range again with a new fashion label
JULES Hunt has always been creative. As a little girl, she loved to paint and sew. “I loved doing anything creative,” Hunt said.
“That whole process from thinking of what I wanted to create, through the design process and to the finished piece, it was just so exciting.”

The range incorporates Hunt’s love of bold colours, stunning geometric designs and nature.
