Projects
  • Bridal Collection
    Bridal Collection Last year we launched a stand alone bridal range having worked for three years with real brides on bespoke commissions and with many editorial pieces. I'll be showing this work at A Most Curious Wedding Fair this March 18th and 19th in the Old Truman Brewery, London.
  • AW15 Ready-to-Wear, 'With Sharp Compassion'
    AW15 Ready-to-Wear, 'With Sharp Compassion' I based this collection on my Scottish heritage and in particular the work and drawings of my Great Grandfather, neurosurgeon Dr Norman Dott.
  • SS16 Ready-to-Wear, 'Pura Vida'
    SS16 Ready-to-Wear, 'Pura Vida' This collection was based on the vibrant rainforests and stunning sunsets of Costa Rica where I was lucky enough visit in 2015. My good friend and amazing illustrator Katy Smail designed the floral print for me.
