Fashion Designer Alice Temperley

One of the highlights of being a portrait photographer, is meeting so many interesting and inspiring people.   As such, this latest shoot for Country Life to capture a portrait of Alice Temperley in her new studio in Ilminster, Somerset.

The 28,000 sq ft semi derelict victorian building Alice bought cost the same as one year’s rent in her Mayfair office!  Not only has this move provided her with a lot more space for a lot less cost, it has enabled her to connect with local artisans and producers, which is wonderful for the local community economy.

In due course, Alice plans to convert the rest of the building to include a restaurant, art gallery and a spa.  Somerset born myself, and based in Dorset, it’s great to see this injection of glamour and culture in the West Country.   Now I just need to win the lottery so I can indulge myself with one of her fabulous designer dresses!
