One of them is the visionary behind her Catwalk Creative Vintage site on the Etsy, and as the owner/creator/fashion buyer for Catwalk Creative, an exclusively online vintage clothing boutique and dress agency.    Louise spends her valuable time sourcing the creme de la creme in authentic vintage from around the world, as well as taking photographs and doing write-ups!
