I film everything as I’m making it. It’s how I work, and it means there’s a record of every stage. So rather than tell you how my London Fashion Week looks came together, I’d rather show you: from the first cut, through the fittings, to the runway.

Scarlett’s Wings: From Studio to Runway

Scarlett’s look closed with a pair of huge white wings. This video follows it all the way through: me making it, fitting it on Scarlett, and Scarlett walking it at London Fashion Week.

The Male Moulded Corset

Most of my moulded corsets had only ever been made on a size-zero mannequin, so for this collection I wanted to push the technique onto different bodies, including menswear. This one started on a male torso form with silver fabric and resin, and ended up on the runway on Eden.

Feya’s Plus-Size Corset

The plus-size moulded corset I made for Feya has its own two-part series: Part 1, the plaster body cast, and Part 2, the resin work.

Backstage on the Day

Fashion week backstage is controlled chaos: hair, make-up, last stitches, dressing, lining up. A few moments from the day.
