Dionne Gooding is founder of London based brand ‘Dionne Gooding’. Dionne’s fashion journey started with footwear after receiving funding from The Princes Trust. However due to the pandemic Dionne pivoted into crafting hand-made, fun casual pieces, using African print fabric with a London edge.

The brand was commissioned to design several collections for Selfridges using fabric off-cuts and preloved clothes. Here she created playful pieces inspired by St. Mortiz, LA and Christmas Feasts.

‘Dionne Gooding’ offers a range of statement garments as well as a custom-made service where customers can bring their dreams to life.
