Nadia Dafri

French artist Nadia Dafri expresses her creativity across many areas including fashion, accessories and household items. Her jewelry has many tribal influences and being textile is soft textural and luxurious. I do love the way that textile jewelry facilitates amazing fabric manipulation and experimentation

Wiebke Siem

German artist Wiebke Siem makes incredible textile art objects that have persona's from a fairy tale, fantastic anthropomorphic forms made from everyday textiles of suits and towels. Sculptures that have appear to have a life locked within them like a puppet waiting to be animated by human touch.

Cavalier II

This is the Dora Dress from Singapore-based kids design company Cavalier.

"Dora is my mom and the dress is homage to her. She’s a real classic dresser, hence the little black dress, but we believe that everyone has a wild side so we decided to give it a little twist with the rocker hands. On the rear neckline of the dress is an embroidered Mark Twain quote ‘My mother had a great deal of trouble with me but I think she enjoyed it." Angela Chong

Cavalier I

Sometimes designers of children's clothes get it so right, Angela Chong is one of those designers I love her 'Trip the Light Fantastic' range of stylish easy to wear, well-designed clothes.

“One of my biggest pet peeves is size and gender labels. I think if you look at a piece of clothing, if it speaks to you, it’s basically up to you to wear it however you want and in whatever size you want.” Angela Chong, Designer of Cavalier

Yoon Ji Seon

Korean artist Yoon Ji Seon constructs incredible self portraits using rags and thread. These portraits often look as though Yoon is being blown away, as the threads melt away from the face.

Marina Godoy

A good sketchbook is a wonderful thing, with its containment of thoughts either related or jumbled, gathered in one document. Sketchbooks are lived in and have the patina of use, sweat and toil on the pages, split coffee and tears of frustration. 

A textile sketchbook seems to take this human touch even further with it scraps of fabric, clothing, bedding, buttons, stitch and jewels, it has a visual tactility that is compelling. These examples are the work of Brazilian artist Marina Godoy.

Olga Ezova-Denisova

With themes of 'Spruce' 'Bilberry' and 'The Forest' Olga Ezova-Denisova hand prints and hand embroiders these stunning textiles creating things of great beauty.
