ARTIST COMMUNITY

I am a London based designer and final year fashion student at the University of Westminster.

‍

My designs simultaneously challenge and exaggerate gender and identity through strong silhouettes and sculptural corsetry. I predominately work with dead-stock fabrics and incorporate unconventional found materials into my work. I love to create bold and dramatic looks and take a lot of my design inspiration from historical sources.

Preen have captured the imagination of audiences across the country with songs about Midsomer Murders, snorkelling, car crashes, and failed actors. Now a five-piece, they blend three-part harmonies with story-led melodies to bring a feel of both the classic and the new. They regularly sell out headline slots on the London circuit and beyond. They have recently played Greenman festival, Wychwood festival, Get Together festival, Ritual Union festival and more. Their latest release is a double-single and music video. They are heading to the isle of wight this month to record their next project.
