ABOUT US
What happens when two best friends with a shared love of vintage fashion and mid century style, years of experience in the fashion, bridal and film and TV industry and a passion for sustainability find themselves back together in the Cotswolds?
They create a cosmopolitan and stylish contemporary retail and creative destination in the Cotswolds’ capital, Cirencester, that's what! STUDIO 24 is a contemporary, creative space in the heart of Cirencester, encompassing a photographic studio, an events space, a unique fashion and interiors retail concept plus personal and bridal styling.
A place inspired by their careers in LA, New York, London and Dubai where people can shop, meet, create, learn and laugh. A space where old becomes new again - and they can't wait to welcome you.

tara shakespeare
Tara's love of fashion and beauty started from a young age with stylish hairdresser parents ,and as a teenager she spent every Saturday shopping for that new exciting piece of clothing. Her first car was a blue 1960s VW Beetle, which helped her discover the world of vintage fashion, and her love of flower power began.
​
Today, in her profession as a film make-up and hair artist, she has been able to combine these loves and frequently works on period movies, recreating the classic looks from all periods, but especially enjoys the 1960s and 1970s.
​
Making movies have taken her around the world, spending a decade living and working in Los Angeles, where a lot of her vintage wardrobe was sourced. As a bit of a magpie, she loves nothing more than spending time wandering round vintage clothes fairs searching for sparkles and that ultimate vintage beauty.​​
