Rachel Powell has not received any gifts yet

My primary role in relation to fashion is:: Designer, Supplier, Manufacturer

I am looking to discover or buy: Fashion Designers interested in collaboration, inspiration and new ideas

About me / About business or organisation:: My work explores the endless possibilities between colour, shape and texture on the human form.

I create unique pieces of “wearable” textile art that incorporate ethical and innovative fibres, materials and processes.

I am passionate about keeping our rich textile heritage alive with a focus on natural dyes and hand spun yarns, incorporating these skills into modern design.

I love to push the boundaries with my materials, combining textures that should not normally appear together and processing dyes with experimental techniques that have never been used before.

Career history / Company history:: Fashion Graduate that realised I am actually a textile designer/artist and highly specialised in the use of natural dyes and hand spun yarns, with a passion for creating unique and precious materials for retail to fashion designers.

* Exhibitor/Demonstrator for ICHF travelling UK throughout 2011
* Work used by international natural dye company to promote the possibilities for this dye source
