ALPACAS ALPACAS ALPACAS...my new project is a very exciting venture into the world of alpacas, with a new luxury clothing line for women in the pipeline along with some beautiful accessories, the yarn is being spun as I type so watch this space... Make and Do Club (a range of workshops I run for children/adults/anyone inbetween!)

Earlier... I have completed four beautiful collections with People Tree for their AW12 knitwear collections - including Womenswear, Menswear, youth and an accessories collection - they have just gone into production, but you'll have to wait for their winter launch to see the outcome! Amazing festivals this summer, touring the "Britain Needs Ewe" Collection at a variety of shows as well as spreading the knitting bug with lots of workshops and taster sessions...

Fashioning a Sustainable Food Industry At first glance the industries of food and fashion may be worlds apart. However, the sustainability issues throughout the lifecycle and supply chains of each share many complexities. From organic and ethical production, to distribution, labeling, transparency and overconsumption resulting in extreme waste and pollution, fashion and food are two industries facing major change in order to sustain a prosperous future. The Footprint Awards rewards the achievements of those leading the way towards a sustainable future for the foodservice industry. To celebrate the inaugural Footprint Awards, two MA Fashion and the Environment graduates Julia Roebuck and Zoe Fletcher have been commissioned to design and construct five couture garments using materials donated from the sponsors to communicate and raise awareness of the sustainability challenges shared by the food and fashion industries. Julia and Zoe have recently graduated from the postgraduate masters course run by the Centre for Sustainable Fashion at the London College of Fashion and are passionate about using design to raise awareness of sustainability issues and communicate the need for change. 
 "Britain Needs Ewe 2011" - Exploring the possibilities for drastic locality within the British Isles, to inspire, utilise and push the boundaries of British wool within the fashion sector, whilst inspiring a new generation to connect with and value their clothing.  Zoe Grace Fletcher 2011
