Amanda Wakeley had lost her company in 1998 when, after her divorce, she was forced to sell the business. Since then the Amanda Wakeley label has endured countless different owners, with Wakeley staying on board as Creative Director.

When the brand was put up for sale and subsequently sold in December, Wakeley was told that she was out of a job. But in March she was advised by the then owner, Jason Granite that the mainline collection was up for sale and with the backing of her new partner Hugh Morrison, Wakeley bought back her label.

Spring/Summer 2010 was Amanda’s comeback show at London Fashion Week. The show was eagerly anticipated; her Indian influenced Spring/Summer 10 collection receiving rave reviews from the fashion press.
