About me
Ciara Hamilton specialises in Embroidery and manipulation for Fashion. Graduating from, The Arts University Bournemouth with a BA (Hons)  in  Textiles. The focus within Ciaras work is surface texture, experimenting with a wide range of fabrics and materials to create innovative designs. Ciara's approach to embroidery is contemporary, combing machine and hand embroidery to create fine detail and accuracy within her collections. Fabric manipulation is the base of many of her designs in order for the collection to be structural and visually interesting.
Projects
  • 1920s Fashion and Architecture
    1920s Fashion and ArchitectureThe theme of my most recent project is 1920s Fashion and Architecture. With inspiration from exhibitions at the fashion and textiles museum and the V&A, I could take key colours and themes from the collections. The fundamental techniques of hand embroidery and beading in 1920s fashion were evident and therefore linked well with my specialism within textiles. The focus on fabric manipulation, machine embroidery and hand embroidery is apparent in my project, creating interesting and innovative surface textures. Combining bold shapes and sharp lines works well, with emphasis on finer details. I enjoyed experimenting with a variety of fabrics, stitches and textures, with the composition of pleating and CAD embroidery being a great success.
