Hand EmbroidererLondon, United Kingdom
About me
Durga Shanthakumar is a bespoke hand embroider from London, specialising in haute couture, costume and interiors. Recently graduated from the Royal School of Needlework, she also has a foundation degree in fashion & textiles and a level 3 qualification in fashion design. The focal point of her work is the variety of colour and contemporary materials she uses. The vibrant, sparkly work Durga creates captures her personality and mostly celebrates different moments of her life. Her approach involves using materials and techniques that allow her to portray the chosen theme to enable the viewer to recognise, connect and experience the emotions related to the inspiration. What makes her work unique is how she uses colours in different ways, the way it flows and mingles together to create something abstract and new.
