Karen Foster

princessfashionhouse.com

Karen Foster has combined her expertise in retail sales, fashion wholesale, charity, promotions & PR to create a new concept for the promotion of graduate and emerging fashion designers, boutiques, fashion retailers and training organisations; www.princessfashionhouse.com.

Being a single mother with four children and a small budget Karen launched the first stage of the business in early 2005 called Princess Promotions & Women's networking Karen soon realised that there was a niche in the requirement for helping women in the fashion industry and so the concept began and in February 2008 the first stage of the fashion website was launched.

The website quickly grew with 300 plus designers & retailers from all over the world promoting themselves on the website and over 70,000 visitors per month.

Karen has a strong belief in social responsibility and has been involved in many charity fund raising events. In 2006 Karen was awarded for her efforts as the highest fund raiser for her "Girls Night In" event in South Australia in 2006 for The Cancer Council of South Australia. Karen continues to work with charity organisations and is currently working on a fashion event for SCOSA (Spastic Centres of South Australia).

Karen was nominated for the Telstra women in business award in 2006. With the website growing daily the next stage of the online business is currently being created which will include a social fashion network, new retail shopping & wholesale features. Karen and her partner are also involved in a new online company which will service the areas of Health, Wealth, Property, Sport and Lifestyle.
