My womenswear collection ‘Edible Lace’ consists of both clothing and leather handbags which I designed and constructed from start to finish including patternmaking and sewing. Each garment carefully hand-painted, exploring the process of applying paint to fabric. The handbags were made from supple deerskin leather in understated styles to comliment my bold lace garements.
