Leigha Thistleton is a womenswear designer who approaches fashion as a form of storytelling, using textiles as a medium to explore identity, belonging, and the passage of time. Her project House-wear is a poetic exploration on memory—reimagining the home not just as a place, but as a feeling that can be worn. By personifying everyday objects and assigning them with human-like qualities, Leigha draws on our emotional reliance on domestic comforts, revealing how our environments become extensions of ourselves, shaped by personal histories and quiet rituals. Drawing from archival textiles and inherited traditions she transforms familiar household fabrics into garments that evoke comfort, care, and continuity. These materials are recontextualized through refined tailoring and thoughtful silhouettes, resulting in a collection that blurs the boundaries between clothing and interior space. Allowing the wearer to carry fragments of home with them wherever they go.
