Born into a farming family with a deep farming heritage, Owen’s connection to the land and the traditions it nurtures is evident throughout his work. His collections often draw inspiration from rural life, folklore, and the enduring rituals of traditional life. This personal link to the countryside has become a signature theme, infusing his pieces with authenticity and emotional resonance. His creative process is defined by a compelling fusion of old and new. Blockley combines traditional handcraft techniques, this interplay between heritage and technology enables him to construct garments that are at once nostalgic and modern, romantic yet precise. Heavy embellishment is a key hallmark of his work, often used to communicate stories, textures, and add a heavy, rough beauty to his garments. Owen's BA final collection was supported by a sponsorship from Harris Tweed, the project allowed him to create a sustainable and ethically grounded body of work. The collection was a heartfelt love letter to his family's farming background and to the British countryside that shaped him. Working with Harris Tweed not only reinforced his commitment to sustainability but also deepened his engagement with British textile traditions. The collection championed materials produced by British farmers, resulting in pieces that were both environmentally conscious and rich in cultural significance. Owen Blockley holds the ability to weave historical storytelling into contemporary silhouettes, using modern pattern cutting to reshape familiar garments into something new. His work holds meaning in the clothing, personal history and forward-thinking design. Remaining devoted to exploring the tension and harmony between craft and innovation, tradition and technology, his designs serve not only as fashion statements but also as tributes to the people, places, and practices that have shaped his identity as a designer.
