  • The Social Outfit was pleased to collaborate with New Romantic on the VOICES for Afghanistan campaign. At such a distressing time for our community, we found that working with Valentina and Rani we were able to easily develop a strategy and New Romantic was incredibly swift and professional in setting up all the comms and resources needed for the campaign to be launched quickly. Importantly, their reach within the fashion industry as well as the media was critical to the success of the campaign.

    - Camilla Schippa, CEO, The Social Outfit

  • We are so happy to be working with New Romantic on our journey to becoming a Brand Of The Future©. Valentina’s support has been invaluable through this process so far and we’re excited to continue our work together. We look forward to being able to share more of our journey along the way.

As a consumer goods brand, we cannot claim to be 100% sustainable however, we're committed to making ongoing changes to better our business.

We're so excited to have her on this journey with us and can't wait to see the positive impact we can create together.

Valentina is passionate about what she does and always approaches her work with a positive & determined approach.

Her level of client service and presentation decks are second to none, and she is a pleasure to work with.

Valentina has a genuine and professional, innovative and creative approach, and most of all a can-do attitude; she manages to mobilise action engaging everyone in the process.

Bisley is confident that New Romantics will support and expertly guide us to achieve our Ethical Sourcing and Sustainability Goals.
