Meet Gillian Ridley Whittle, the founder of Peachaus and former Fashion Director of Topshop, who traded the corporate world for her dream of creating sustainable and ethical fashion. Backed by Cedric Wilmotte of Michael Kors, Gillian launched Peachaus in March 2022, focusing on beautiful, feminine, and quality designs. With over 100 years of fashion experience on her team, Gillian opened her first boutique in Covent Garden and recently introduced Peachaus to Fenwick customers in the North East. Proud to photograph Gillian on our 6th cover for North East Times, with photography by Ben Oliel.
