About
Fashion Design and Marketing student at Northumbria University, graduating in 2026. My work is shaped by a love of travel, with places, landscapes, and stories influencing my approach to sustainable fashion, surface embellishment, and textile innovation. I enjoy exploring materials and techniques in a hands-on, thoughtful way, creating pieces that feel both expressive and responsible.
Cuckoo is a sustainable fashion brand that blends Victorian-inspired silhouettes with contemporary design. Handmade in Sheffield, each piece celebrates craftsmanship through natural dyeing, embroidery, screen printing and thoughtful textile experimentation. Inspired by wild landscapes, folklore and gothic romanticism, Cuckoo creates garments that tell stories while encouraging slower, more conscious consumption. Designed for women who value individuality, artistry and sustainability, the brand offers timeless pieces that feel both nostalgic and modern. Through locally made, small-batch collections, Cuckoo aims to preserve traditional techniques while creating distinctive, wearable garments that stand apart from fast fashion and fleeting trends.
