It’s June, and Isabel Adomakoh Young is starting rehearsals at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. She’s playing Juliet opposite Joel MacCormack’s Romeo in this summer’s production of Shakespeare’s most famous love story. Isabel arrives at Scarfe’s and is soon changing out of her boiler suit into a flamboyant, puff-sleeved dress. ‘Very Tudor, so very Juliet,’ she chuckles. The dress is by her friend Edeline Lee, who asked Isabel to take part in her show at London Fashion Week two years ago.
