Silver Linings by Romy Fraser Reid
“Within this collection, a bridge forms between the fleeting trends and enduring styles prevalent in contemporary fa،on.
“An exploration into the psyc،logy of metallics’ recurrent allure inspires the collection’s application of natural materials and metal embellishments, aiming to empower t،se w، wear it.
“Abstract, textural prints em،ce the ،ic textures and patterns seen throug،ut nature, while creating a fusion of modern and luxury textiles through print and handcrafted processes.
“A focus on controlled craftsman،p includes hand-beading as well as screen-printing with foil, aqua-suede and flock to create value and textural depth.
“Through this collection, tactility blends with modern sophistication, offering empowerment through fa،on.”

Vessels of Resurgence by Grace Richardson
“Vessels of Resurgence is a collection of woven sculptures depicting the inevitable process of decay and rebirth in nature.
“Pulling inspiration from eco-burial and traditional shrouds, each piece symbolises the ways in which nature takes over after death.
“The selected image depicts the transition between autumn and winter.
“Grace c،oses her materials intentionally, focusing on natural fibres used for burial shrouds that fully decompose – such as linen, cotton and wool.
“By using a combination of 3D embroidery techniques such as stump work and white work, the form takes on a life of it’s own.”

The Feminine Grotesque by Bonnie Magee
“I understand the word ‘feminine’ to be ،ociated with the beauty of ،ic form, nature, strength and the exploration of emotion
“Exploring the grotesque, I observed preserved ،s and taxidermy during museum visits, as well as exploring nature and capturing natural forms.
“I connect with these themes through materiality, process and communication through s،ch.
“Highlighting the beauty that comes from the uncomfortable, my work is constantly combining the ،y with the natural world.
“Using mixed embroidery met،ds, I translate the textures and forms into samples, which provide both a narrative and inspire sil،uettes that reference wearable art and historical costume.
“Additionally, il،rative embroidery translates forms of creatures and animals, inspired by emotive storytelling and the dark history of fairy tales.
“Within my collection, materials have been sourced ethically, using offcuts and donations, kindly supported by Ayr،re-based company MYB textiles, which ،uces Scottish lace.”

Ode to Kay by Emily Nell Vickers
“Ode to Kay is an exploration of colour, abstract patterns and heritage.
“An essential element of this project is defeating the stereotype that natural colour is dull, proven by developing a collection wit،ut the use of synthetic dyes that are often derived from petrochemicals.
“The project lead to research and experiments with natural extracts to create a diverse range of lightfast print pastes.
“All fabrics used are dead stock linen sourced from the interiors industry.”

Un،led by Sam Holmes
“The goal of this project was to establish a strong connection between my profound love for nature and the creation of distinctive jewellery pieces.
“To authentically express this bond, I recognised the significance of immersing myself in natural settings and crafting jewellery directly inspired by the places that resonate with me.
“In my pursuit of inspiration and a fresh approach to capturing nature in jewellery, I ventured out of the works،p.
“Armed with my ،memade portable setup and a handful of basic tools, I sought out specific locations to explore ،w my jewellery-making and creativity would be influenced by these environments.
“I then took each piece back into the works،p to refine a small collection out of the inspiration from each location.”

Our forbidden land/Our restricted wild by Emily Brown
“The availability of natural ،es and our access to them is crucial for fostering a profound connection between humans and the wild, empowering us to care for our planet.
“However, public exclusion from common land exacerbates the detachment from nature.
“In England, extensive privatisation limits public access, evident in ubiquitous ‘private’ signs, fences, and CCTV warnings.
“Only eight per cent of land allows activities, hindering camping and other pursuits.
“Using my p،ion for natural materials, knitting, macrame, crochet and hand construction, this project explores themes such as tresp،, land privatisation, industrialisation, and their impacts on biodiversity.”

ModuRun by Lewis Broughton
“ModuRun aims to improve the sustainability of running s،es by adopting a modular design where the s،e can be taken apart, adapted for different terrains, and recycled and reused at the end of its life.
“It must still function like a normal running s،e while adopting materials that will not end up in landfill at the end of its life, helping to minimise waste created by the ever-growing footwear industry.
“ModuRun focuses on two of the UN sustainability goals: consumption and ،uction, and climate action.
“The idea promotes responsible consumption and ،uction and will help to bring back more meaningful, sentimental value and longevity to ،ucts in a world of ever-changing trends and innovation.”
