Creating a meaningful and successful clothing brand from the ground up is no easy feat. Doing it with zero formal fashion or business training is, well, unthinkable to most. What began as a small-time side-hustle has flourished into a global yet family-run fashion brand, and a personal favourite among celebrities like Fearne Cotton, Frankie Bridge and Laura Whitmore.


After a brief stint working as a fashion intern in London, the pull of The North - and her entrepreneurial spirit - took Chloe back home. Not content working for anyone else, she began selling jewellery online, but creating her own designs was always the someday-dream.


Shunning text books for intuition, Chloe began dabbling in t-shirt designs, and quickly turned her passion project into Olive & Frank, a purpose-led clothing brand with a whole lot of heart and ambitious plans. High on Chloe’s agenda was to bring her sister into the business, and she proudly made that happen in 2020.
