Jo Deeley

Although Jo isn't a fashion designer, I wanted to take the time to talk about her work and how it influences me.
Jo is a textile artist and graduate of Loughborough University who works with manipulating and sculpturing textiles. Her work is all visually really interesting and exciting, as she explores different ways and techniques to shape fabrics. I admire the way she experiments with different fabrics and methods to create a unique and unexpected pattern or texture. Her work reminds me that as a designer I should be experimental with my own work and explore ways of doing things that haven't been done before - that I shouldn't play it safe, as there is no point in simply re-using the works of other artists and designers.
