Mothecombe

My name is Mollie, I am a Sustainable Fashion and Textile designer from Devon, England. I specialise in up-cycling and reworking with the environment always being at the core of my design practice. My graduate collection ‘Mothecombe’ has been developed from research into historic fishing communities along the coast of Britain, a reflection and celebration of my identity and heritage. The earliest reference to Devon fisheries areas early as the 14th century. Stories have been passed down from generation in my family of living and working in Mothecombe. The collection brings these stories alive. Through researching traditional garments, textiles and lost techniques once used amongst fisherman, fisherwives within coastal villages the collection brings the history to life and is a tribute to the historical communities. Sustainability is at the core of my design. upcycling, reworking and simply 'making do and mending ‘are key techniques throughout the collection. 100% upcycled
