More about the speaker

Sadie Williams is a British textile artist and designer who plays with colour, bold patterns and a wide range of media, from fashion and visual art to animation and scenography. After studying at Central Saint Martins, she spent several years showing her work at London Fashion Week before leaving the fast fashion system behind in 2018. From then on, she took a different direction, placing sustainability, upcycling and the inventive reuse of materials at the heart of her practice. 

In her work, she combines craftsmanship with a clean graphic style and innovative textile techniques. Alongside her label, Sadie shares her passion through workshops, community projects and teaching at museums and universities. For her, making things is a way of bringing people together, sparking curiosity and encouraging everyone to express themselves.
