My eponymous ready-to-wear label has been featured in Nick Knight's fashion film 'Girly' as well as numerous publications including Garage, Vogue.co.uk, Polyester, Rookie, The Huffington Post, Baby G watches, Vice and Ballad of...

I also enjoyed making the taffeta pussybow blouse and the pintucked panelling on the duchess satin dress. #ceridwen #jaynepierson #lfw #stratasys #samplemachinist #seamstress #londonseamstress #3dprinting
