Louise Gray has gained a reputation for questioning the rules, questioning everything, celebrating the odd, artful and pledges individualism. Louise trained at The Glasgow School of Art and Central Saint Martin’s. This heady mix of textile disciplines with fashion background coupled with an open and forward attitude lends itself to a style and opinion that makes the Louise Gray world an interesting place. Louise has shown her collections at London Fashion Week for 12 seasons. She most recently designed the first women’s collection for women for Norton and Sons, Savile Row, where her designed woven textiles can be also made to order. She has worked and collaborated with Marques’ Almeida, Brora, Judy Blame, Lane Crawford-Hong Kong, Nicholas Kirkwood and the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as costume designs for Director Wayne McGregor at the English National Opera.
Thea Siwale is a recent Fashion Communications graduate and content producer. Her research consists of exploring the female body through photography; exposing bodies she felt needed more representation. Her work looks at capturing hidden areas such as blemishes and is mostly unedited with the goal of being real and honest. Thea has created her platform, Better Than Honey, an organisation aimed at representing women from different ethnicities, abilities, and sizes; with a goal to celebrate all bodies, bringing women together. Through her channel she is collaborating and showcasing other talented creatives, with interviews, portfolios, and image galleries.
