As well as graphic design, I’ve also been making clothes, since my mum taught me when I was 9. She was a hippie and made or upcycled most of her clothes. We had an amazing fancy dress box growing up full of treasures like victorian hand sewn lace shirts, Romanian Gypsy dresses and sequin covered Indian silk culottes. I learnt to cut these up and make new things out of them, learning so much as I experimented.
When I started going to festivals my creating really took off as finally I found a space where you could really express yourself, not hold back and go full fabulous. Adding lights, secret pockets and miniature vaginas made them truly original.
15 years into making these, I’ve now made a collection to sell on Etsy. I love making jackets for individuals as I can then add truly personal references that mean a lot to them. A secret pocket made of a dress worn when they got engaged. A finger puppet sewn into a pocket. A little golden silhouette of their dog on the sleeve, or a holiday memory (I take photos and digitally turn them into shiny fabric shapes heat bonded to the jackets).
Pimped to perfection!
Many of these jackets are rare 80s vintage and not easy to find. Most of the images below are bespoke commissions so not available on Etsy but may be inspiration for your ultimate rave jacket bespoke commission.
