Katherine Wardropper wins Pulse Design Award

We are very pleased to announce that Katherine Wardropper, our guest designer for the Autumn//Winter 2006 season, has won the ‘Most on Trend Product’ at this year’s Pulse Design Awards.

The Pulse Design Awards recognize designers who display excellence in product design and innovation and represent a prestigious accolade. Katherine was chosen as winner by Josa Young, Editor and Writer for Vogue.com, from a shortlist of top designers.

Katherine Wardropper makes beautiful handmade fashion accessories from corrugated loops of fabric which are placed together to form three dimension patterns. From these intricate patterns she creates her own special brand of ‘Wearable Art’ and ‘Wall Hangings’. With a feather light density the pieces echo the pleated forms of Elizabethan ruffs and seventeenth century lace patterns.
