Not very well - Artist & Entrepreneur Zhi Holloway formally Zoe Holloway designs for @notverywellclothinglabel recycled articles of apparel available for cold hard cash £$¥ trade|cryptocurrency not very well is about contradiction in life, telling stories in a one-sided way my own personal story alongside, collaborating with other people's stories to better understand one another. Key point to the brand is re-use, recycle products and re-custom, many one-off pieces, jackets, tshirts, tops or sets. Repeat pieces, open tied trousers, paneled boxer shorts & baseball tops. I love the advances in (ocean plastics, color changing fabrics, VR models, 3D printed clothing), wearable tech (glasses, AR, MR, Jacquard and wireless payment chips) the ability of using apps E and M commerce.

James Barnor - Artist

I live by the Sea. - Artist Made in England by Ley Holloway based on the North Devon coast, the sea is both a source of materials and inspiration for the designs. Using sea glass, beach ceramics, vintage and modern beads, vintage lace and recycled jewellery, the pieces are unique and entirely hand made. The beading techniques used are needle weaving methods using mostly brick stitch. This is a time consuming method, where each bead is attached one at a time using needle and thread, resulting in a 'fabric' made from beads. The sea glass and other materials used for the pendant pieces have mounts made by stitching beads tightly around them onto a backing material. Almost all the pieces have a leather backing. More recently Ley has begun to make pieces from a copper with silver fused to it's surface, as well as silver clay. Ley is happy to make pieces to commission, either using a piece of sea glass you have yourself or a piece from her collection. Ley is also very open to any ideas you might have for jewellery that are within her skills to make. Perhaps a bridal piece made from offcuts of fabric from the bride's dress.

 

Max Hatter - Artist/Musician and a Hatter. I was buying and tweaking hats from around the world before teaching myself to become a hatter. For added stature and comfort each hat is fitted with detachable cushioning or a small turban, thus TURBANESQUES. These hats will sit a little higher than usual (you want to be seen don't you?) but you can wear these pieces as you like; the cushioning will take care of that. I am working with felt, straw, fur (fake) and African/Dutch wax prints. I am always looking to collaborate with other artists/visionaries on new concepts designs and finishes. My studio is based on 'Johnson's Island' in West London. And yes, it actually sits on a tiny island on the river Brent and the Grand Union Canal next to Thames. If you love a hat drop by. @max_a_hatter

 

ZzzKo - Artist/Children's book author Scenes of small creatures with microscopic details designed to be a feast for your eyes. Stare at the prints to enter inspired worlds and dreamscapes, or wear clothes and accessories decorated with buildings and residents from cities of the eternal night. As your eyes squint and your brain expands, ZzzKo is here to gently guide you into the land of nod. @zzzkozone
