TRADING THROUGH HISTORY

12th January 2012

Through my work in producing costumes for film and television, I have come to understand how trading through history in the textile industry impacts on lifestyle past and present.  The images shown here are combining textiles and crafts we take for granted today, connecting textiles with craft skills in an ethical way.

The intricate traditional hand made lace from Galle, Sri Lanka to the contemporary European minimalist designs as seen on the following actresses:
