Secret Wardrobe

Some images from 'behind the scenes' at The Diva Catwalk Show last night and the models and clothes of the fabulous Secret Wardrobe.

Mia Nisbet Chimwembe

Fashion Designer, Mia Nisbet Chimwembe has been shortlisted for Fashion's Finest designer of The Year Award 2011, however she has already been awarded Make Your Mark In Fashion Award 2008 and The British Fashion Council's Innovation Award 2009. Mia went to Madras College St Andrews and then went on to graduate in Textile Design at GSA. Mia fell in love with Malawi during a trip there several years ago and now her own ethical fashion label MIA merges recycled European and Malawi fashion and textiles to create her collections which have the richness of African textiles and western styling

Jeanette Sendler

Jeanette Sendler's portfolio has millinery, felting, tailoring, printing, weaving and many other facets of textile and fashion design. These images are from a residency that Jeanette had in Newburgh Fife in 2007. I particularly like the top image a tailored jacket constructed from pattern paper. Jeanette Sendler now works from her studio in Perth and teaches at Edinburgh College of Art.
