About

Textile designer, based in the UK, originally from Hungary with Australian origins.

This project was inspired by a Scottish folktale, The Battle of Seasons. The collection builds on the constant battle between Spring and Winter, Summer and Autumn, juxtaposing emotions, while translating Scotland's rugged landscape into texture. I worked with a given palette to create new shades, by using at least two to four different yarns next to each other. This technique elevates the texture and overall outlook of the samples. The collection has been designed for menswear sport jacketing, giving a new meaning to heritage tweed wear.
