Describe your collection in five words
Bold, geometric, minimal, speckled, sustainable.
What’s your style
For soles and heels of the shoes and the sunglasses frames, I made a leather composite material. I used scrap leather, cut it into tiny pieces and adhered the pieces with a bonding agent. I wanted to take an industrial process and waste materials and turn them into something with a luxury finish. I’m influenced by ordinary, everyday objects – things like tools.
How has London inspired you?
Living in Hackney, you can see what trends are coming long before they’re on the catwalks. And I like going to the libraries and looking through old magazines and art books, or going to the shop Labour And Wait – I like their pitchforks!
What’s next for your label?
I’d like to freelance to support myself while setting up my own label, but if I had the opportunity to design somewhere I loved full-time, I’d do that first. Phillip Lim in New York would be great.
What’s your ultimate ambition?
To have my own brand in London and I’d also love to do a residency at the Design Museum, to further the research into the materials I use.
