She organises and chairs the WSA Fashion and Sustainability Forum, which has become a yearly event for the school; research interests include responsible design, planned obsolescence and our throwaway culture. In this age of fast fashion and planned obsolescence, where consumers are taught there is no value in ‘things’, she works closely with the students, looking towards a sustainable future where fashion is not disposable, and that the craft of the designer – the making of ‘things’ - is to be celebrated.
‘Here at WSA our MA Fashion Design students are independent thinkers, creative problem solvers and ambitious and exciting designers. They are leaders not followers, and this is evident in the variety and quality of the work produced in our studio.’
