"Identity would seem to be the garment with which one covers the nakedness of the self, in which case, it is best that the garment be loose, a little like the robes of the desert, through which one's nakedness can always be felt, and sometimes, discerned" - James Arthur Baldwin

Michelle Lowe-Holder

Graduate of St Martins in 1999, with a focus on knitwear she presented her collection at Browns, London. Later on several of her catwalk shows were sponsored by BFC until she collaborated with Topshop on four collections.

In 2009 Michelle got invited to join the LCF Center of sustainable fashion program called "Ribbon Reclaim". With this her collection's focus shifted yet the handcraft detail (vintage and heritage) became the design or piece itself. Collections onwards from AW 10 she has been developing or exploring ribbon art, antique folding techniques, interlaced with crochet and hand cut bases. Accessories include bangles, necklaces, rings.

Currently she is invited to the MLH studio to up-cycle Oxfam's throw-aways in an open gallery. The 6 pieces designed and constructed on the site are to be auctioned in the near future, with all proceeds going to Oxfam.

Keko Hainswheeler

With clients such as Lady Gaga, Nicola Formichetti and Robbie Spencer, its no surprise that Keko's pieces have been featured on multiple covers and editorials.
In each piece there is a unique dramatic fantasy presented. There is an emphasis on luxury, rays of feathers, dripping jewels. I am full of excitement to see what Keko will come up with next and who will be the lucky one to be able to pull it off.

Martina Spetlova

Graduate with distinction of the MA at Central Saint Martins in 2010 her final collection was selected for the prestigious CSM catwalk show, part of LFW in Feb 2010. She also won a number of awards including Chloe Textile award in 2009 and was also recipient of L'Oreal professional bursary during her studies.

Solidifying her signature patchwork approach, Martina expertly mixes bold block colours and works with repetitive application of zips or change in textures.
