PHOEBE ENGLISH
Central St Martins BA & MA graduate , Phoebe English has been challenging the conventions of design and garment construction since the attention grabbing debut of her graduate collection in 2011 , featuring layers of black hair and weaved rubber . The London based designer hails ‘ forgotten and little-used techniques ’, as a key aspect of her design process . The uninhibited construction and use of handcrafted engineered surfaces are a testament to her conceptual and transitional aesthetic . With a whole host of awards already in firm grasp ; including the L ’ Oreal Professional Creative Award , and fashion mecca Dover Street Market stocking the young designers label , English has been taking the industry slowly and surely by storm for the past three years and is set to remain on an upward ascent .
