Which Dragons' Den investor was the founder of the fashion and interiors brand Kelly Hoppen?

The story behind the answer

Kelly Hoppen was the founder of the fashion and interiors brand Kelly Hoppen.

Kelly Hoppen is a British designer known primarily for interior design, especially her East-meets-West style and use of neutral colours, clean lines and tactile materials. She developed the Kelly Hoppen brand before becoming a Dragons' Den investor, and her commercial work expanded into products, books and design services.

The question uses the brand name because it is directly associated with its founder, but Hoppen's best-known professional field is interior design rather than fashion. She appeared on Dragons' Den as an investor for a limited period and became the programme's first female dragon in the regular panel era. Her design identity distinguishes her from the show's retail and finance-focused investors.
