Each is supported to develop their skills. In a bid to help others succeed and the academy also offers a range of training courses and masterclasses, as well as free online video tutorials.

The Dockside party was attended by “influencers, fashionistas, artists and entrepreneurs from the world of fashion and beauty” with the theme of #girlpowerisatrend.

Partygoers sipped cocktails while “indulging in a little retail therapy” from a number of beauty and fashion brands, retouching at the glam stations and posing for selfies in the photo booths whilst being serenaded by a live acoustic singer Clare Sophia with music also from DJ Mark Ingham.

Charlotte Kirk co-owner of The Dolls House Group, said: “The event was everything we imagined it would be and so much more. To have so many inspiring women all in the same room, socialising and getting to know each other, was exactly what we wanted.

“We even got to meet the people who support us on social media and people who inspire us. It couldn’t have been a more amazing night.”
