Keep There were a number of valid references badly formatted/entered by someone who doesn't know how to cite articles, but after checking and quick-fixing them so I could scan the URLS better, she does seem to safely pass GNG with ongoing coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. The article needs tidying up though so I'll take a look at it and see what I can do to tone down the advertising, although I've seen far worse. Mabalu (talk) 16:19, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fixes carried out, article cut down, citations sorted. Mabalu (talk) 23:24, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This has been improved to update it and the references added by Mabalu and by me would suggest the designer more than meets WP:GNG. I don't think deletion for advertising applies now – especially as the company has not been operating since 2012 so is of historical rather than current relevance. Further refs and improvements will help, along with an Infobox, but the NewGen and export awards and the reach of the brand at its height strongly suggest notability for the fashion project. If you still think there are WP:NOTADVERT issues could you flag them here so they can be addressed. Libby norman (talk) 14:22, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
