Josefine Wing

Swedish born Josefine Wing studied fashion design and pattern making at Esmod School of fashion design. Since arriving in the UK in 2005 she has been running a lingerie and accessories label called Mint Siren, the brand is sold all over Europe and in the US. Designing and sewing has always been Josefine's passion, with a grandmother who was a dressmaker and an auntie who was a sewing/crafts teacher she was taught the skill at a very young age, this passed down interest for creating things eventually developed into a career for her.

Josefine is skilled in most aspects of fashion design/creation and she has great first hand knowledge of running a fashion label.
