FASHION • Q&A
PH: Your background is in textiles. How are fashion textiles different from interiors ones? HW: To me they aren't that different, interior textiles always inspire my fashion collections, and vice versa. PH: What are your favourite pieces from the collection? HW: I love the Doodle rug, it is one of my favourite Shrimps prints and just looks so beautiful as a rug. PH: Tell us about the creatures and characters. HW: The characters are all from my imagination and I have been making them up and drawing them for as long as I can remember. The Doodle print was literally created from my drawings on a piece of paper that I had been doodling on over a few weeks, I often doodle in important meetings. At the time I was researching nursery rhymes and the work of the artist Paula Rego, these doodles were definitely, subconsciously inspired by that.
“I love particular colour combinations in both fashion and homeware, red and pink is one that I’ve definitely used a lot”
