NEWS| Former Merit Award winner Phoebe English in The Independent



Open up today's Independent or i paper today and you'll see Fashion Scout designer and former Merit Award winner Phoebe English looking back at you. 

The feature, which focuses on Phoebe's new window installation which launches at Dover Street Market this Friday, interview Phoebe in her studio in her East London studio. 

"For her window display English, whose studies focused on knitwear and textiles, has created a large orb of blue glass beads that will be suspended from the ceiling by a single wire. “I wanted something that looked as though it was floating or hovering – a lunar orb. The textiles we're using are all glass and we found that during the [spring/summer 13] show you got a really great reflection of the show lights while the girls were in motion. We're hoping that the light will sort of sparkle across the surface.”"
