ping develop their collections through my constantly evolving and carefully curated archive of vintage and antique textile designs.
Stylists and designers worldwide look to me for colour, weave, print and embellishment direction.

I also design exclusive colour ranges for international fashion and textile collections, based on current and future trends.
Using Pantone references or unusual shades from my own colour archive I create colour inspirations that are tailor-made to each client’s brief.

I work closely with luxury fashion houses, ready-to-wear labels and the most prestigious textile mills in Europe.

My clients include: AllSaints / Anthropologie / Balmain / Burberry / Cartier / Celine / Christian Louboutin / Christopher Kane / Dunhill / Lanvin / Louis Vuitton / Mulberry / & Other Stories / Thomas Pink / Tom Ford / The Row / Victoria Beckham
