Mitchell Gardner

I am a fashion student based in Manchester with a strong focus on leather craft, upcycling and sustainable practice. My work focuses on reuse, longevity and hands on making with a strong emphasis on transforming discarded leather garments into durable and practical pieces. I am interested in the connection between craftsmanship, sustainability and self expression, and I aim to develop work that is both conceptually driven and wearable. I aim to refine my technical skills whilst working with existing leather materials through experimentation with construction, form and design.
