Tribute to Gill Harvey
On Wednesday 31st August 2022, the company learnt that Gill Harvey, the celebrated fashion designer and founder of Eliza Jane Howell and the Gill Harvey Collection, died after a secret battle with cancer. It was heart breaking and unexpected news. Gill was a brilliant talent, a fashion designer of international renown and a truly generous spirit. Ben will be forever grateful to Gill (and her business partner Andrea), for the faith and confidence they placed in him, for commissioning creative design services over a ten year period and for helping his company develop and flourish.
Presented just weeks after Gill’s untimely death on 12th September at the ‘Bridal Buyer Awards’ in Harrogate, (widely known as the ‘Oscars of the bridal industry’), Eliza Jane Howell was the recipient of the ‘The British Design Talent Award’ of 2022. The honour acknowledges what Gill has achieved and what she has given back to an industry that admired her so much.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Gill. May you rest in peace. X
