Channel: CraftsCouncil
Date: 2018-11-22

Helen Graduated from the Royal College of Art with a Masters in Footwear in July 2016. She then exhibited her graduate collection at International Talent Support 2016, where she won both the Accessories award and the Vogue Talents Award.
 
Helen explores unexpected constructions within footwear, investigating the extremities of structure and texture.
​
Her work is a spontaneous reaction to society, conceptualising our connections with commerce and materiality through textures, graphics and silhouette.      .

In her 'Our Public Youth' collection she evaluates process, ownership and obsolescence.  Confusion and Coming of age in an oversaturated paradigm, evokes reaction to an alternative system of circulation.  Struggling to belong in a hyper commercial reality.
