Bella Reed

I am currently completing my final year as a BA (Hons) Fashion Knitwear student, specialising in sustainable design. Over the past year, I have refined a unique creative process where the natural world directly influences my work. The colours in my palettes emerge from the plants that are in season, and my materials are sourced from found or pre-loved items, reflecting my commitment to eco-conscious fashion. My Final Major Project explores the nostalgic essence of coastal living intertwined with the harsh realities of coastal erosion and pollution. Through this lens, I've developed a collection that not only reminisces childhood memories but also highlights pressing environmental issues. Looking forward, I am excited about the of launching my own brand that continues to embrace these sustainable practices.
