Selfridges Bright Young Things 2013 - Sadie Williams

Born, raised and currently residing in West London, 26 year old Sadie Williams is a womenswear designer and recent graduate of Central Saint Martins College, completing her MA in the 'Textiles For Fashion' Pathway. Sadie's textiles mix odd combinations of fabric and print together in a youthful & personal style that reflect her interest in 'schisms' and juxtapositions -- modern/removed, crude/considered and functional/playful. Her love of folk textiles and art has influenced her use of hand-worked elements; in particular applique, and use of collage. Sample swatches are collaged, assembled and edited, until a coherent theme is orchestrated together. Sadie won three out of the 10 t-shirt designs in a Pepsi Cola T-Shirt competition for CSM MA students in 2012, was first prize winner of the Chloe Bursary Award in 2012 and was awarded the Santander Award for Excellence in Design (2010). http://www.selfridges.com/byt #byt2013
