How many collections<br />
have you produced<br />
under the Hamburger<br />
Liebe brand?<br />
Honestly, I didn’t count them!<br />
I started with textile design<br />
eight years ago, and have<br />
been able to create so many<br />
wonderful collections with my<br />
production partners. And of<br />
course, there are always new<br />
ones to come!<br />
My newest collection with<br />
Albstoffe is called ‘Bliss’ and<br />
will be available in the UK<br />
later this year. This autumnwinter<br />
collection contains<br />
wonderful organic jacquards<br />
and prints on organic jersey<br />
and sweatshirt, all produced<br />
in Germany, with matching<br />
cuff, stripes and hoodie<br />
cords.<br />
My autumn-winter<br />
collection for Hemmers Itex<br />
will be called ‘Park Lane’<br />
and will be distributed<br />
exclusively by Hantex Ltd.<br />
It’s a tribute to my time in<br />
London as a young adult.<br />
There will be softshell and<br />
quilted to make warm<br />
jackets, but also beautiful<br />
soft falling blouse fabrics and<br />
embroidered cotton fabrics.<br />
I’m really looking forward<br />
to both these collections<br />
launches. And some designs<br />
for next year are already<br />
finished – and it all stays<br />
very colourful!<br />
What sort of things do<br />
you like to sew?<br />
I love sewing clothes, but<br />
I’m impatient stitcher and<br />
like sewing patterns that are<br />
quick to make!<br />
Tell us about<br />
your collaboration<br />
with Albstoffe?<br />
I’ve been working with<br />
Albstoffe for three years<br />
now, and I think the team<br />
has adopted me! Seriously,<br />
this is a very lovely and<br />
fruitful collaboration, and<br />
I really love the products.<br />
Albstoffe is a young<br />
company, and they were<br />
looking for a designer, and<br />
so glad they asked me!<br />
Albstoffe has emerged<br />
from a traditional family<br />
business producing knitted<br />
fabrics to the highest<br />
organic standards. It took<br />
me a while to deal with the<br />
jacquard fabric as the design<br />
works differently. You have<br />
much less colours than with<br />
printing, because you knit<br />
with the coloured yarns. But<br />
we constantly exchange new<br />
ideas and have brought some<br />
very successful products to<br />
the market together in the<br />
recent years. The ready-made<br />
cuffs called ‘Cuff Me’ are just<br />
one of them.<br />
Where else can we see<br />
your designs?<br />
My most beautiful designs can<br />
be bought in my Redbubble<br />
Shop on a range of products<br />
such a mobile phone cases.<br />
On the website, Not Like You<br />
– you can buy some of my<br />
designs on Converse chucks,<br />
which I think are really cool!<br />
Someday, I’d love to design<br />
my own tableware, too!
