About Me

 

​

Hi, I’m Eleanor Monica – a recent first class graduate with a BA (Hons) in Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors, specialising in both knit and print for fashion. My passion lies in creating bold, innovative, and one-of-a-kind designs that are not only visually striking but also deeply personal.

I’ve been knitting and making since I was nine years old, and that early love for textiles has grown into a creative practice rooted in individuality, sustainability, and social awareness.

Sustainability is at the heart of my work. I often incorporate recycled materials, using fabrics and yarns sourced from scrap stores and charity shops. My design process is also guided by a strong sense of social responsibility. I use my collections to raise awareness for causes close to my heart, particularly around SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

One of my most meaningful projects, the Germaphobe Collection, explores the experience of living with OCD—a condition I personally navigate. Through this work, I aim to spark conversations and promote understanding through the medium of fashion.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explore my designs – I hope they leave a lasting impression.
