Brodie Anderson

Following previous experience with functional and technical design at AFFXWRKS and Heliot Emil, I felt a shift in my design philosophy, with an urge to practice a more instinctual and exhaustive approach through an exploration of drape and surface texture. During my final year I have expressed an interest in unconventional natural materials, looking at bioplastics, plant fibres and mulberry bark to express organic sculptural forms. I demonstrate the juxtaposition of my methodical way of working with the untamed nature of these materials to create a body of work which stimulates a broadened awareness of construction and textile processes. My values and design responsibility demonstrated throughout my collection earned me 1st place in the GFW Considered Fashion Award and the opportunity to showcase on the London Graduate Fashion Week 2025 runway. Additional awards and achievements: -Paul Smith Menswear Competition 2025 Winner -2nd place in Creative Changemakers Awards 'Climate Justice Award' -Recipient of The Arts Society Nottingham bursary towards material costs in support of sustainability efforts. -Fashanne 'Sustainability Award' shortlist
