Liverpool designer has been dressing Scouse clubbers for 30 years

A popular Liverpool designer loved for her unique fashions has been dressing women and girls across Liverpool and beyond for 30 years.

As a child in the 70s, Caroline Oakes, now 53, would be in awe of the glamourous outfits her big sisters would wear on nights out. Inspired by fashion and film around her, as a youngster she would beg her mum to make alterations to her clothes and get creative when trying to establish her own style.

After learning her craft on courses while at college as a teenager, Caroline found herself dressing Liverpool's clubbers heading to top venues like 051, The State, Cream and The Barcelona club in the 1990s. While she still creates designs for clubbers and festival-goers, in recent years Caroline's brand has continued to evolve with her clients and their age.
