About me
Concepts and unique ideas are integral to my design practice, within my work I tread the fine line between art and design, and it is important to me because I believe that they are both intrinsically linked; design inspires art, art inspires design and this is the mantra that I stick by. In order to fully demonstrate my concepts, I often translate these into fashion prints, as I feel that fashion is a great portal to promote ideas and other ways of thinking. I work in an expressive hand crafted style, using the silk screen as a drawing tool. This enables me to create bespoke one of a kind designs. My inspirations stem from personal life experiences and observations, most notably the unloved and unappreciated side of urban life. This is something that has remained an important factor in my final collection. The subject matter surrounds the dieing space of the Launderette, creating textiles and patterns that act as documentation, in order to preserve the stories and memories of these spaces.
Projects
  • Laundromat
    LaundromatFamiliarise yourself with the new collection of fashion fabrics by Nessan Cox. The collection is inspired by ritualistic urban spaces and the documentation of stories eternally encapsulated in one off designs. Heralding back to religious art, the abstract nature of the work includes symbols easily recognised throughout urban exploration, allowing the viewer to hold their own concepts and inspire individual stories. Mens streetwear lacks colour, the collection aims to Remedy this. Embracing both playfulness and urban Grit, the collection gives the prime opportunity to bring Bespoke craftsmanship to the streetwear market. The variety of print processes used has allowed for contemporary yet unusual designs.
