Chloe Beth Jones
My work encapsulates sustainability and an Avant Garde style, working with upcycled materials and eco-friendly stretch fabric where possible. I thoroughly enjoy construction and my passion for sustainability is not only shown through my work but has become a way of life. Through what I eat, to where I buy clothes from, to how I live my everyday life, I always try to be as environmentally conscious as possible.
Working with stretch fabric and spending my free time developing patterns for swimwear is a new passion of mine, practising working with Lycra as much as possible. Creating digital prints for environmentally friendly fabric is another interest, and I make sure to make an eco-conscious decision in all of my work if it can be achieved.
I am currently working as a seamstress at Lucy Can’t Dance, an alternative wedding dress company, specialising in made to measure handmade dresses. My job is both fulfilling and creative and a perfect balance for my studies. I continue to participate in indoor bouldering and Aerial silks alongside university and work and have a long-term goal of traveling the world.
Studying Fashion and Textiles at University Colchester was definitely a step in the right direction for where I wanted my professional career to go, and I feel throughout my time there I have really pushed myself creatively.
