Journeys in Sustainable Fashion & Contour Fashion:
Research, Design, Making, Retail & Display
Personal Profile & Research Interests
The following pages firstly document my journeys through sustainable fashion, contour fashion and textiles; from when I first learnt how to sew and look after plants in the garden, through my art & design education and contour fashion clothing business, to my recent experiences in academic clothing sustainability research.
And secondly, document my current sustainable design, making and research practices and how I have developed an increased interest and passion for investigating biodesign approaches and strategies to aid and inform the future of fashion and contour fashion.
The images below show a selection of the sustainable research, design, making, retail and display projects I have experienced and enjoyed working on over the years, with links through to further details in my Design, Making & Research Portfolio and Cookie West Boutique & Showroom pages.
