More about Yvadney

After Yvadney completed the legendary Central Saint Martins fashion degree, she began working in PR before switching her career to fashion styling. 

What started as a hashtag to celebrate mums expressing their sense of style and self-love, Mums That Slay grew into a beloved Instagram and blog community, encouraging mums to enjoy getting dressed up with a weekly style challenge called #DopeFriday. 

Yvadney is a co-founder of Mums That Rave DJ with Nikki Beatnik. Mums that Rave is a panel & rave event with an award-winning community of women who like to work hard and party hard. 

Recently, Yvadney took up painting in the first lockdown of 2020. As a granddaughter of the Windrush generation, her beautiful paintings “capture the human image and self-expression, focusing on the unrecognised sensuality of middle-aged women and black British Caribbeans.”They are exquisite paintings and an absolute must to discover.
