V&A Archive Collection
Inspired by a behind-the-scenes visit to the V&A with curator Susan North, my new collection reimagines 18th-century archival textiles as modern, wearable history. Translating the ornate textures of historical ruffles and metallic lace into permanent, modern pieces using the traditional lost wax casting technique, the jewellery creates an enduring link to the history and fragility of the original textiles.
