About

I’m Zoe Bennett, a fashion design student at Birmingham City University with a focus on textiles, material exploration, sustainable construction and illustration. My design approach combines creativity, attention to detail, and a strong problem-solving mindset.I’ve gained hands-on industry experience through internships and live projects, including winning the Birmingham Panthers’ 2025 Superleague kit design and collaborating with brands like Superdry and Gill Marine. These opportunities have deepened my understanding of garment construction, fittings, and production processes.My work has been featured at Birmingham Fashion Week and exhibited at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, showcasing my ability to bring concepts to life in both creative and professional settings.I’m always eager to push boundaries, learn from others, and bring fresh, innovative thinking to every project.

Between Stations is a menswear collection that combines tailoring, sportswear and contemporary art. Inspired by the daily journey of a London Underground Commuter, the work reinterprets practical menswear through hybrid garments that merge formal and funtional elements. Artist Grayson Perry's use of colour strong influenced the collection's colour palette and concept, particularly his observations on conformity in traditional suiting. Challenging conventional menswear codes through colour, print and construction, the collection places textile design at its core.
