Jaime debuted her BA graduate collection at London Graduate Fashion Week in 2009 gaining notoriety from leading press and blogger’s naming Hartley as favourite designer by the GFW press team. Following Graduate Fashion Week Jaime was selected to show her work at ‘Style in the City Birmingham’ and ‘Off the Rails Ireland’ where she received further interest in her creative fashion practice. In 2010 Jaime undertook further studies, achieving an MA in Fashion Futures with a ‘distinction’ from Kingston University where she developed her pioneering practice and swiftly gaining industry followers for her forward-thinking approach to fashion design. During the past 13 years, since completing her MA,  Jaime has showcased her fashion collection at London Fashion Week and has assisted in the making of a number of celebrities wardrobes from Beyonce Knowles ‘Who Run the World’ gold dress and accessories, The Black Eyed Peas world tour outfits and Azealia Banks UK tour outfits, incorporating wearable technology.

In 2015, Jaime solo travelled for 6 months, working remotely from her laptop, visiting a number of textile manufacturers in India, lecturing in one of Tokyo’s prestigious fashion schools and visiting customers in the Middle East, enhancing her research and creativity.

She firmly believes our sustainable future is in the hands of the next generation of designers.
