- Lydia Cutler<br />
L<br />
ydia Cutler is originally from Kenya, she<br />
also lived in India, Australia and the UK. She<br />
moved to England in 2000 for her Masters in<br />
education in Leeds where she met her exhusband.<br />
She eventually moved to Aberdeen<br />
in Scotland in 2001 where she founded the Aberdeen<br />
Fashion Week which is celebrating its 8th edition<br />
virtually this year.<br />
Lydia has been sketching clothes since the age of<br />
7 and learnt tailoring in Junior Secondary school. A<br />
magazine with bridal dresses which someone brought<br />
into her home sparked a keen interest in fashion<br />
design in her. Even though she went into teaching<br />
as a career, fashion design gradually became her<br />
work and great joy in life. Her label Kemunto Fashions<br />
which she started in Australia received great success.<br />
Lydia showcased her collections in fashion weeks<br />
in London and New York City. She won several<br />
awards in Paris and London. She started a bridal<br />
shop in Australia and travelled to various countries to<br />
showcase her wedding dresses.<br />
She now owns a Bridal Salon ,which carries<br />
bridal gowns for sale and rental, evening wear and<br />
crochet wear in a picturesque village, Peterculter, in<br />
Aberdeenshire country, in Scotland.<br />
