Molly is a Manx designer who was crowned the Apparel Category and Overall Winner of the 2024 Only Natural Fashion Competition.
Her practice is underpinned by research focused on establishing traceable supply chains, with a specific emphasis on animal-derived materials like wool and leather. Molly’s design background lies in textile manipulation and print, and shaping narratives through textiles.
Throughout her studies at London College of Fashion, Molly developed her leather craft and explored more progressive methods of using sheep skin and hides in clothing. Much of her work involves revitalising cattle hides from regenerative farming, and exploring how to restore profitability through couture craftsmanship, using experiences to convey this message through a narrative lens. Molly went on to work at Vivienne Westwood after graduating and now works as a Product Developer at The Albion Knitting Company.
