Rachel, Owner at Rachel Scott Couture – “At Rachel Scott Couture, supporting our clients and building their self-confidence has always been at the heart of everything we do. It’s truly amazing to see the transformation of a bride when she’s wearing an outfit that she really feels she could conquer the world in. (or at least the wedding party dance floor!).
Over the last few years, we’ve been working to support the charity Smart Works, who help support woman back into the workplace by providing quality outfits for interviews plus mentoring support to ensure they have the greatest opportunity for success. With both of us working to raise the self-worth and confidence of our clients through clothing and emotional support, Smart Works just felt like such a natural fit for us!
I am truly amazed by the work that the volunteers at Smart Works do and how such an apparently simple and small change can make such an overwhelmingly positive difference to the lives of these woman.
I’m so proud to be hosting our auction event and looking forward to working with some lucky brides in order to raise much needed funds to support the continued work of Smart Works.”
