My work as a designer allows me to indulge these passions..the possibilities are many with even one simple pattern. one dress in five fabrics is five different dresses. Natural fibres and handwoven fabrics are my favourite. Piece-dyeing gives incredible results and a great deal of satisfaction.
In my day job, i am a dresser of dollies. That is what i do, i refresh the presentation of our styles in the shop weekly, suggesting ways to wear clothes and layer patterns, colours, textures in ways that allow an individuation of style, an expression of personality. My work is to give options and suggest to the collective conscious what might look perfectly smashing..sending out rockets of desire all around. It’s a lot of fun and i can be lost in the process.
I like to work from a drawing, a plan that captures a mood that i hope to create in three-dimensions, with fit, fluidity and a good match of fabric and style. My designs are simplistic, with a nod to trend, but with a certain respect for timelessness and good looks. I love the handmade and aim to achieve something of lasting quality.
Not much under the sun is new, but ever-expanding ideas that we can all share...i love that.
