Lydia paget

avensbourne University London

With hands-on experience at respected brands such as Conner Ives Ltd and Tarinii, Oslo, I have gained a strong skill set and experience. While my primary focus is womenswear, my practice often merges traditional womenswear with menswear silhouettes to create a distinctive, androgynous style. My work is frequently inspired by elements of British culture and everyday familiarity, which I reinterpret into contemporary design narratives. My graduate collection centred on accessories and leather craftsmanship-examining the relationship between women and their bags through playful, sculptural silhouettes. I earned my BA in Fashion from Ravensbourne University London, where I developed my creative vision into industry-relevant skills. I am proficient in garment construction, flat pattern cutting, fabric sourcing, and leather craft; with a solid grounding in sustainable practices. My ability to analyse trends, communicate clearly within a team, and adapt quickly under pressure has been consistently sharpened through both academic and industry experience.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
