No Longer Forgotten

Isabel Pennington

Location: Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK
University/College: Northumbria University Specialisms: Pattern Cutting
Inspired by my own passion for yoga, trekking, running & snowboarding I want to specialise in eco-friendly high performance unisex outerwear & sportswear. By combining innovative pattern-cutting and sports technology I create stylish, functional garments for active individuals. I aspire to work for a brand that shares my commitment to responsible and ethical practices. I apply my garment technology and design skills to create innovative, sustainable, and socially responsible garments. My collection celebrates Sherpa heritage, bringing their stories to the forefront. With a focus on the Sherpa community, I have created a captivating outerwear collection that explores their culture and sacrifices. The collection features six ensembles inspired by the practical yet playful "mountaineer runway" style. Vibrant Nepalese colours are juxtaposed with earthy tones as a tribute to the Sherpas' extraordinary contributions to mountaineering.
