Trusted Clothing by Morgan Griffiths Hagan.
“In an industry fueled by overeating, ‘A Garment to Trust’ celebrates the utility and beauty of clothing.
“Taking inspiration from the strength and durability of rugged architecture, this collection focuses on longevity, durability and versatility.
“Cruelty celebrates the use of quality materials and construction considerations applied at every stage of the design process, from the initial visual research to the careful planning of the final set.
“Researching utility design and workwear underscores the importance of clothing you can trust and rely on.
“This collection is designed with the user experience in mind – unisex, durable, waterproof and multi-season, the garment is a durable, wearable solution for the modern consumer that will be treasured for years to come.

Untitled by Emma Shoesmith
“Illustrations created in gouache and gold paint form the basis of my mixed media collection. My botanical work is rendered using processes such as digital printing, laser etching and embroidery.
“Additional details are added by applying traditional gold work and composite printing.
“The creative process allowed me to explore and engage with a balanced color palette enhanced by my signature gold.”

Heritage of Crafts by Lucy Doller
“‘Heritage is what we inherit from the past, what we live on today and pass on to future generations’ – UNESCO.
“Artisan Heritage celebrates the integration of heritage craftsmanship into contemporary design, emphasizing the value of quality and longevity.
“As a professional designer I use skills such as machine knitting and crochet to create designs that incorporate leather elements, taking inspiration from preserved heritage across the UK.
“My work raises awareness of endangered crafts and their cultural value, paying respect to their lasting legacy, inspiring future generations to preserve and protect these treasures.”

Fabric printed by Niamh Clement
“My research was carried out through found objects and textile markets, charity shops, archive collections and museum collections.
“These diverse collections express the varied and random nature of people’s tastes, histories and lives.
“Other lost or donated, even seemingly mundane objects have personal significance to their owners and their relationship with these objects can tell the story of their lives.”
“I created a personal archive of the things I attached, looking at the texture, pattern and color they contained and deconstructing them to imagine them in my own style.
“My use of found fabrics comes not only from this desire for sustainability, but also draws on my interest in the layers of human life found in their materials.”

By Emma Kirkpatrick A creative exploration of defects in fruit and vegetables
“I wanted to raise awareness of the issue of food waste in the UK.
“I have explored perfect and imperfect forms to translate in my braiding developments.
“I also tried to use color and structure to create three-dimensional, textured pieces that reflect decay and distorted forms.”

The sacred talisman by Della Ball
“Taking inspiration from materials, colors, environments, people and trends, I transform the ordinary into refreshing and innovative works with strong emotional concepts.
“Seeing the connection between the environment and the self fuels my work and the resulting connections.
“As designers I believe we have a responsibility to use our results to raise awareness, educate, connect and inspire others.
“Revealing connections and inspiring discovery in myself and my audience was an important goal during the creation of Holy Talisman.”

Untitled by Maya Rowe
“My project is about capturing the visual and tactile qualities of lichen to reflect how interacting with materials can enhance our emotional well-being.
“The symbiotic relationship between lichen and its facilitators reflects the relationship humans have with inanimate objects, and the collection reflects how we can interact with our environment to encourage moments of calm by exploring these properties.
“This exploration of lichen has been reimagined as a woven textile ensemble for an interior protective space.
“The colors in my samples are carefully chosen to mimic the colors of our lichen, with greens and browns to ground, and yellow to bring a sense of resistance.
“My passion for the contemplative process of textiles allows me to create fabrics with the user’s visual and tactile experience in mind.”

Cosmic Communication by Hannah Linus
“My project was inspired by the installations at the Tate Modern and the original inspiration from the film A Space Odyssey which explores technology, communication and space.
“Inside the collection includes digitally and hand-printed geometric fabrics, wallpapers and laser-cut and layered hard surface explorations.
“The designs explore bright colors, geometric, linear shapes, metalwork and textures. This collection is intended for fun and playful home interiors.”

Pattaya by Lily Cornell
“The Pattaya Collection explores the fascinating markets across Asia in a series of publications, each focusing on an individual location.
“The collection looks at these markets but also shows the beauty of the flora and fauna that surrounds them. The prints use a variety of digital and traditional techniques to produce a series of interesting and varied results.”
“The bright colors of these markets have had a strong influence on the energetic color palette, with the aim of bringing joy and happiness back into interior spaces.”

Future Membranes by Ruta Vronevskyte
“I design for future fashion where the clothes we wear now become irrelevant due to climate change, where biosynthetic membranes emerge as new clothing, where textiles become an extension of the body – a second skin.”
“In recent years, environmental damage has been increasing, and the call for alternative materials is increasing – this led me to try biomaterials based on red algae.
“Biometrics cannot bypass traditional processes such as printing in textiles – unusual materials require unusual processes.
“I used laser-engraved and hand-stitched molds to get the pattern – the images I used to create the molds were inspired by scraps of yarn made by my late grandmother.
“Traditional craftsmanship is now translated into modern materials.”
