Sydney, 11.11.2010 (The Sydney Morning Herald): Few business editors would contemplate becoming an entrepreneur, but six years ago Mike Hall stepped out of a 20-year career as a journalist to launch a design-led textile business catering to the high end of the market.
“When I started out, I couldn’t tell the difference between silk and cotton, but now I can hold my own in a conversation about weft and warp, empire lines and stitches per inch,“ says Hall, whose company Jasmine Hall wholesales home textiles and fashion.
