Rosie Broadhead

Eyes on Talents member, Rosie Broadhead, is a graduate from Central Saint Martins’ MA in Material Futures. As an apparel designer she specializes in biomaterials and focuses on developing garments that provide health benefits to the skin with less impact on the environment. Her collection "Skin Series" was made by using fabrics imbedded with seaweed, knitted with vitamine E yarn, and zinc encapsulated fiber. All these ingredients have known therapeutic benefits to the skin and body. The focus is on looking at what is natural on our bodies to explore how we can create sustainable yet functional clothing, and replacing the need for toxic chemicals on textiles. More recently she has co-founded Surface Tension, a platform centered around realizing the positive potential of materials.
