A BIT ABOUT ME

I first began experimenting with creating latex fashion at college, and this experimentation continued during my Contour Fashion degree at De Montfort University. This degree supplied me with a solid understanding of lingerie, bodywear, corsetry and swimwear design, pattern drafting and grading. My graduate latex lingerie and corsetry collection was selected to appear on the runway at London Graduate Fashion Week 2013.

After University I began my career working as a pattern cutter at Invincible Rubber in Nottingham, before moving on to a dual manufacturing/pattern cutting role at Latex 101 in 2015. While working at Latex 101 I manufactured garments for several well known international brands including Yummy Gummy Latex, with whom I enjoyed a close working relationship for many years after I became self employed in 2019.

 

As a freelancer, I work with brands to create patterns from design sketches, sample and fit test them and then manufacture the final product. I have had the pleasure of working with several brands on different projects including Dark Virtue Designs, Affordable Latex, FAB LondonFilth LatexDea Couture, Tightside Latex, The Latex Store, Love Penny Plane and Dash Latex. 

In late 2022 I took on a part time employed position as a Latex Technician with Regulation, so my time is limited for taking on commissions at present, but I still enjoy working with individuals to create some incredible one off pieces!
