About
Having further explored the textile industry throughout my studies at University, my passion and flair in designing for fashion and interiors has grown immensely. With a particular interest in sustainability, my studies have facilitated conscious design, adapting to our ever-changing environmental climate. Through experimentation in areas of textile design such as knit, weave, print and mixed media, I have developed a specialist passion for embroidered and embellished textiles, with an emphasis on innovative textures and colours.
Ocean Textures is a project that explores the naturally occurring textures within corals and seaweeds, whilst developing my technical skill in embroidered and embellished textiles. Having grown up on the south coast, I have always taken inspiration from the natural beauty found within these landscapes. I also visited the Leicester New Walk Gallery that holds a collection of corals and marine life, allowing me to gather a wider range of visual research to influence my design direction. This project is designed for a luxury fashion market and features innovative techniques including digital embroidery, ribbon quilling and hand embroidered bead work.
