ERIN LEWIS 2008 MEN'S COLLECTION

© by ERIN LEWIS 2008

Born in one of those seaside towns they forgot to close down...

Erin trained in sculpture, working with sculptor Hamish Black and later exhibiting at the home of Lee Miller and Anthony Penrose.

Then a desire to learn a skill in tailoring, Erin made the move to London for study and work. Erin quickly learnt how she could use her structures to produce garments. She expressed this new task by costuming musicians The Irrepressibles for live performances and promotional shoots.

She also worked alongside designers Ioannis Dimitrousis, Gareth Pugh and Rui Leonardes before joining Boudicca for their first Couture show in Paris.

Her graduate collection was tailored to Saville Row standards and a collaboration with Dashing Tweeds showed both innovation and tradition. The result was a small collection bought by Beams-Japan.

Erin sought to make the most of British design sourcing all fabrics and production from the UK. Since graduating, Erin has taken a job as head design of the 'Charro' collection at Mexico's leading Eco-fashion brand 'Taller Flora'. Founded by Carla Fernandez, the brand focuses on making use of Mexico's skilled artisans, combining traditional textile techniques with contemporary design.
