Let Them Wear Cake
From studying the shapes, colours and textures of icing, I have created a textile collection using digital embroidery to show the wonder and excitement of being a child.
I'm a fashion textile designer specialising in digital embroidery. My work is inspired by childhood nostalgia and femininity, mixed with the feelings associated with ageing from girlhood into adulthood. I love to experiment with digital embroidery to create new materials, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
