The brand’s global presence spans prestigious retailers such as Selfridges, Nordstrom, and Net-a-Porter, alongside its own direct-to-consumer channels. The label’s growing cultural influence is reflected in its high-profile following – most notably, Kate Middleton has been seen wearing Self-Portrait designs, reinforcing the brand’s reputation for timeless elegance and broad appeal. Behind the scenes, ILG plays a critical role in maintaining this premium brand perception. By managing fulfilment across all channels, ILG ensures that every customer, whether shopping via global retailers or directly online, receives a seamless, luxury experience that aligns with Self-Portrait’s elevated image.

Charity of the Year 🧡 @chestnuttreehouse is a children’s hospice for Sussex and South East Hampshire who’s mission is to help those in their care, and their loved ones, make the most of the precious time they have left together. The generosity of the local community makes this happen. It costs almost £9 million to run the hospice, with the NHS grant only funding less than a tenth of these costs. The rest comes from the amazing donations they receive, fundraising, gifts in wills, shops, the Chestnut Tree House lottery and volunteering. We can’t wait to get involved, raise vital funds and support this amazing cause throughout the year.💙
