Tell us a bit about your collections, your influences, your muses (if you have any), your background?
After spending my time at St Martin’s pursuing my options and developing my love for print design, I then left college to take placements with various designers such as House of Holland and Giles Deacon. During my time there, I began setting up my own label.
My Launch season SS10 “Scope of Time” is brightly hued where the garments movement and print takes centre stage.
“Imagine driving weights depending from cords or chains suspended above you” My first collection was inspired by the resounding chime of my father’s fixation with timekeeping. Growing up in a house amongst so many clocks, it would appear the abstract concept of time could hardly be missed. Think of thick colours of different tints, which would melt with fire, and yet retain their lustre. Bright blue, peach and iridescent greens like the rust gathering on metal over time.
I have lots of different influences as a designer that come together as the ingredients of my label. My aesthetic is about bold silhouettes and tactile details that make a statement. My initial love for fashion design was cemented at a young age, where I found the idea that “you could be any one you wanted to be” and tailor your dress sense accordingly quite propelling. My latest collection was heavily influenced by the idea of metamorphosis and transmutation of babys limbs and the diversity of Mexican alters.
I design clothes for strong and elegant women who aren’t afraid to wear bold pieces. I want her to feel confident and powerful in my clothing, and keep my pieces in her wardrobe for years to come. My muse is Daphne Guinness.

I go with my boyfriend occasionally to Brighton to get away from London for a weekend, so I guess I will always associate it with this- we always make sure we make it to Bric-a-Brac- i like the idea that everything has a had a life and story behind it before it ends up in my hands.
