Claudia Gandhi
Hi, I’m Claudia! I’m a 2021 graduate of UWE Bristol specialising in embroidery design and fabric manipulation for both menswear and gender-neutral clothing. My work is heavily grounded in conceptual research, drawing links between natural and industrial spaces and salient social and political issues. I feel most inspired when I get to explore my ideas in the studio through technical sampling and experimentation with screen-print and embroidery to combine with my silhouette development. I am drawn to a utilitarian aesthetic and believe garments should be built to last, loved and repaired.

Order In The House
There is safety in structure. Sometimes we must be confined in order to feel free.
Order In The House
Where comfort might traditionally be associated with soft textures and warmth, for many it resides in routine, structure, and solidity. This collection is an investigation of uniform and the alternative comfort to be found in it.
Devil's Gold
Labour as a ritual, repetition for survival, and the strata of industrialism.
