Beckie Marrington
I am a textile designer, creative director, and stylist, with a focus on themes of sustainability, the outdoors, and nostalgia. I utilise my varied skillset to create fully realised projects, often having a hand in the creation of multiple elements, with an energetic multi-media approach that I bring to all that I do. I am consistently inspired by the outdoors and personal memories, and am always environmentally considerate in my practice.

Gorpcore, Normcore, Anti-Fashion
Inspired by my love of and experience in the outdoors, this personal project was shaped around my environmental values, and passion for fabric manipulation.
Growing Peace
‘Growing Peace’ is a hypothetical campaign, positioned as a collaboration between Story mfg and educational bird watching collective Flock Together. It's a celebration of the capability of nature, and centres around the joy in face-to-face interaction and getting back outdoors.
Growing Peace
The campaign imagery aims to connect with new customers by spreading awareness and educating on environmental issues, including how slow fashion can be a form of activism. The styling included garments made by myself, and other sustainably sourced pieces.
