Inspiration

Initially inspired by the Hunterian museum situated in the London College of Surgery Fanny and Jessy started delving into anatomy and dissection. They have used these inspirations for texture and fabric but also in the idea of layers of the body and seam lines that run through the collection: "Not only does this idea of the discovery influence us, it's the curiosity of quintessential Englishness that is something we are both intrigued by. We have an affiliation to old/traditional beautiful Englishness and this kind of ancient human research is all incredibly influential."
