“She brings a wealth of experience growing fashion and retail brands, which will be so beneficial to Hush in the next stage of our journey, as we build on the foundations set in recent years and grow the brand in the UK and internationally.”
Newson said: “Hush is a brand I have long admired for its authentic voice, unique style and strong connection to its audience.
“Coming from a British-Australian heritage myself, I feel a personal alignment with the very DNA of Hush. The brand was born out of founder Mandy Watkins’ own transition from the laid-back Aussie lifestyle to the creative energy of London and its fashion scene.
“I’m incredibly excited to build upon that beautiful intersection of relaxed style, modern design and wearability to drive the next chapter of the Hush story.”
