Whenever you see a student thriving who graduates from St. Martins, you know you are in for a tactile treat. Daisy Collingridge’s wearable pastel-colored bodysuits are no exception and surprise by their refreshing take.
With names like Burt, Clive, and Lippy, her characters aim to push quilting to the absolute extreme.
The artisan process includes hand-dyed jersey and other fabrics filled with plastic beans and sewn together to form squishy elements in various shapes and sizes. One character can take easily up to two months to get ready.
