ALIDAD

International interior designer Alidad has joined forces with Chelsea Textiles to produce two collections of hand-embroidered fabrics. In his first collection, Bosphorus, he has drawn on his great love and knowledge of 16th to 18th century Ottoman designs. Her second collection, Medici, is inspired by 15th and 16th century Italian velvets, which have been interpreted in hand embroidery.

DOMENICA MORE GORDON

Popular children's illustrator Domenica More Gordon studied textiles at Central St Martins and worked for magazines such as World of Interiors.
She took a liking to drawing dogs, immersing herself in their wonderful world and quirky habits. This charming collection of fabrics translates Domenica's naïf drawings and watercolors, which capture the very essence of the dog, into delicate hand embroidery.

KEMP KIT

Kit Kemp for Chelsea Textiles is inspired by Kit's love of the whimsical and lyrical, and her love of animals, both real and imaginary.
With a series of characters and motifs that have a primitive, almost folkloric feel, the collection showcases a series of playfully unfolding narratives, from a stargazing dog and a sailor's farewell to mythical creatures and a modern version of a Suzani.

NEISHA CROSLAND

Neisha Crosland, a textile designer trained at the Royal College of Art, has received numerous awards for her textile designs and her work has been collected by the V&A. Chelsea Textiles' collaboration with Neisha has resulted in a collection of beautiful embroidery drawn from early scarf designs and previously unpublished artwork, inspired by travels to India and Japan.

PATRICK KINMONTH

After many years designing sets and costumes for the theater and an artistic life pushing boundaries in fashion and design, Patrick Kinmonth has collaborated with Chelsea Textiles to create a collection of fabrics and papers inspired by his memories of Venice and his love of 18th century textiles.

ROBERT KIME

Robert Kime's collaboration with Chelsea Textiles perfectly interprets the quintessential English style for which he was famous. In his Wiltshire workshops he has amassed a private treasure trove of 18th and 19th century fabrics, from which he drew inspiration for these exquisite hand-embroidered designs.
