We are excited to announce the second instalment of Inspirational Conversations With… where we will be joined by the amazingly talented Han from Blackhorse Lane Ateliers.

Join us on 4 November at 10:30am when Han will be talking through:

• His career journey so far.
• Obstacles encountered along the way and how they have been overcome.
• Brand growth and awareness.
• Current challenges within the fashion and textile industry.

Han is a founder and visionary of Blackhorse Lane Ateliers. As a second generation Londoner with Turkish Kurdish ancestry, Han and his family have a long history of manufacturing in the clothing and textile industry. Having been immersed in the local community of textile manufacturing in East London, Han set up his own factory on Blackhorse Lane, manufacturing tailored garments. This business lasted for more than twenty years, leading to significant commercial success.

Han then decided to pursue his passion and interest in food, leading to a career as a restaurateur and later on opening his prestigious new venture Homa in Stoke Newington. This experience fuelled Han’s interest in both community values and sustainable, high quality produce.

In 2016 Han returned to his textile roots, completing the holistic circle as Founder of Blackhorse Lane Ateliers.
