A Liverpool designer prepares ‘months in advance’ for Aintree’s Grand National Festival.
Bethany Chard, owner of By Esme Rose, took a huge risk in 2019 and left her design job and put everything on the line to focus on her own brand - but has now said it was the ‘best thing she’s ever done.
The designer, from Wallasey, studied at Liverpool Community College for two years before completing her degree at Liverpool John Moores University in Fashion Design. Bethany then went on to work for Manchester-based suppliers Visage where she designed outfits for Next, New Look, Primark and more.
