SS21

This collection was borne out of a need for escapism and a craving for joy amid this historic year. For me the escapism comes from working with my hands to create something beautiful, and I hope that for others, this collection will offer a fantastical escape from our current reality.  

The luxurious organic silks (GOTS certified, read more about that here) used in this collection are enhanced with fabric manipulation techniques and paired with printed mesh, in a sweet colour palette of fuchsia, candyfloss and chocolate tones. 

Each piece in the collection is designed to be easily introduced into your existing wardrobe, and cherished for years to come before eventually being passed down.

briar thicket

This collection explores the themes and imagery of self-protection, defiance and resilience in Grimms’ fairytales.  Briar Rose, Rapunzel and The Twelve Dancing Princesses are models in establishing the type of audacious yet romantic woman wearing the collection.  These idealised young women overcome entrapment, briar thickets and vengeance before realising their fate.  Each piece comprises layers of silks and tulle, with leather and acrylic providing both embellishment and armour.  Laser-cutting, varnishing, and perspex-moulding are some of the key processes that drive the work, making it so distinctive.   The result is a dramatic, avant-garde collection, envisaged as bespoke womenswear.
