Beatrix Potter



2008. Sleep and lounge wear. 
This was a very sudden discovery, to use a child's story to design sleep and lounge wear. I was watching a film Miss Potter (Chris Noonan, 2006) when I had a flash of inspiration. So, right after the film had ended, I started to search for Beatrix Potter's biography and works. This was such an amazing quest especially because I had some stuff with her illustrations when I was a little girl. 
So, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was chosen and I dived into work. Cloaks, shawls and jackets were taken from the characters and patterns were made from Potters' original illustrations.
