Lauren Paul - UK
Mentor: Sorrell Kerrison
The Piece:
Open Fashion
Lauren Paul is an English textiles designer who specialises in textural hand embroidery. Graduating in 2023 from London College of Fashion, Lauren takes a sensorial approach to her design work through the means of beading and appliqué, influenced by folklore, nature and traditional embroidery techniques.
For her entry, Lauren explores the exciting act of mudlarking, a cherished pastime she embraced while living in the heart of London to forge a deeper connection for her natural surroundings. With boundless creativity and a profound sense of purpose, she breathes new life into her precious finds by stitching them into her final design.
Through her art, Lauren beautifully repurposes remnants of the past, delicately mending the historical fate of where these artifacts have washed up and inviting viewers to embark on a journey of wonder and reflection to the history of the Thames foreshore.
