Karen Thompson, founder of Koress Clothing

Koress style was initially inspired by early old school hip hop style when women wore less feminine, baggy, oversized and layered clothing. Koress Clothing brings back this sporty, baggy, tom boy style while keeping a strong feminine look. Clothing that bares mid drift, shoulders and hugs the contours of the female figure. It is a clothing range for those who want to wear casual wear but with a unique style.

Karen grew up in Wales amongst a family of entrepreneurs all successfully running their own business’ and knew from a very early age she wanted to be my own boss. Determined to start her own fashion label she began a journey of training in the fashion industry. Whilst at John Moores University, she developed a unique style of design which is the blueprint of her clothing label, Koress Clothing.
