Her clothes have been seen worn on celebrities such as Sabrina Washington for her debut single and video OMG and most recently has been commissioned by lead singer, Shinghai Shoniwa, of British band The Noisettes to design 2 stage outfits for her gigs and festival performances in 2010 and 2011.
Her works have appeared in numerous publications such as Kaleidoscope, Mirren and Playing fashion magazine to name a few and a selection of her clothes are being sold on the highly acclaimed new fashion online store 'Pickurberry.com'.
Beatrice's signature look consists of a lot of embellishment, beading and intricate hand work that is inspired by her Afro-European background/culture and takes inspiration from the beautiful beading and embroidery of African clothes and lace fabrics.
