Name: Mary James
Designer/Company Name: BilleBug
About Your Designs:
I create primarily menswear – the current (graduate) collection speaks of a future world with scant resources, frayed fibres and oversized clothing.
What are some of your career highlights to date?:
I have just completed (as a mature student) a BA Hons Fashion Studies degree – I will graduate with a first class award in September.
Won the Fashion Design Innovation Award fro my graduate collection – presented by the National Centre for Craft and Design.
Was also awarded best student for Garden Design in 2002
What does the future hold for your brand?:
o I would like to continue to design and manufacture menswear that will appeal to the creative, unconventional psyche. Clothing that speaks of spirit, individuality, self-assurance.
o I am also planning to develop a line of exercise/dancewear for women
o I also hope to manufacture clothing using up-cycling methods. This will be women’s and men’s wear
My hopes are that I can manufacture in the UK and offer employment to home workers, thereby putting something back into local communities.
