Elena Dawson works with only a handful of retailers, and her designs are driven by cloth, rather than sketches.

Her experience as a seamstress after university greatly influences her work. “I draw on the knowledge I learned at the tailors still now in the way I make clothing—when you work on alterations you are really tearing the guts out of the garment, performing a sort of autopsy—you really get to see a garment at its most vulnerable point. Observing this state of semi deconstruction in the making of a garment or shoe is what I like to retain in my finished work."

All pieces are handmade in the UK.
