FOUNDER HANNAH STADDON
Made by a Woman for Women!
As a seasoned Yacht Chef, I grew tired of altering my 'female' (more like unisex) chef's jacket every time I bought a new one. Why settle for looking like a sack of flour? Plus, where were the fun colors and prints for chefs, who are artists in their own right? I decided it was time to break the monotony in an industry that often shrouds its core players in anonymity.
Enter Funky Chef: a rebellion against the lack of shape, and a call for color and bold prints. I want you to see me and think, "Wow! She looks badass in her chef's coat! I can't wait to see what her food's like."
Funky Chef combines my childhood dreams of becoming a fashion designer with my culinary journey. My goal is to grow Funky Chef to its full potential and embrace the philosophy that taking risks leads to growth.
