Driven by imagination and ambition, she fights her way through the deep prejudice of an industry caught in devastating economic hardship as she defies expectation and circumstance to become the designer of her own unprecedented 'Bizarre' range, ensuring the factory's survival and becoming a trailblazer of Art deco.
