ABOUT ME

Multidisciplinary Textiles Designer

I have just graduated from Edinburgh ColIege of Art with a BA (Hons) in Textiles design. I adopt a multidisciplinary approach to textiles. I use techniques and materials that stretch the boundaries of textiles and fashion, producing a lot of the time, very unusual- yet beautiful outcomes. I design for luxury womens occasionwear with the ultimate goal of making women feel like the best versions of themselves. I embody style rather than fashion- following only trends that I think will endure and that I think my customers will want to embrace. I try not to define under a certain category or label. I design timeless pieces that adopt an understatedly beautiful and seductive style aesthetic using high end, pure fibres and materials. I celebrate slow, hand craft focusing on quality, authenticity and uniqueness. Textiles is a phenomenological experience that has an immediate sense. There’s a certain intimacy and integrity that comes with manipulating materials in a hands on way. My silk garments include pleated and smocked sections, voluminous ruffles and edges and handmade and hand embroidered beading. I also embrace technology and digital perfection. Photography plays a huge role in inspiring and driving my work. There’s a certain element of magic that comes with photography. I embrace the weird and wonderful power of duality- combining, contrasting, juxtaposing, and harmonising handcraft with technology; structure with fluidity; soft materials with hard; ‘edited’ trends with my style aesthetic and my clienteles’; soft focus with sharp; and certainty with ambiguity and the unknown.
