Jade is a Fashion Textiles Graduate based in Frome, UK. Her practice involves sourcing waste and dead-stock materials in order to exhibit their potential in a garment. Her fascination of biomaterials has led her to experiment with algae and natural dyes. She believes the ‘limitations’ of these resources stimulate boundless creativity.

Jade’s Graduate Collection is fuelled by locals on the Avon and Kennet Canal. It focuses on the functionality of those residing on canal boats. Old lorry curtains and used climbing ropes are sourced from businesses around Bristol alongside dead-stock fabric to produce each garment. This look was presented at Graduate Fashion Week’s Innovation Exhibition.
