Partnerships
In 2020, HFR partnered with Janie and Jack to take the children's wear sector by storm. The featured designers, Rich Fresh, Kimberly Goldson, and Kristian Lorén, collaborated to create a collection inspired by the ethereal world of dance and recitals. The collection launch was broadcasted on Youtube and included fashion show with designer interviews. The designer interviews were hosted by the lovely Zhuri James.
The HFR X Janie and Jack collection was a huge success and had parents and caretakers sharing their beautiful children in our crafted collection.
