Creativity is at the heart of Dashing Tweeds. Over ten years ago I became fascinated by the richness of the cloth archives in Savile Row and beyond, there was just so much choice for men and many more colours than I imagined. I just wished that these joyful fabrics could be modernised and put into production.

Meeting Kirsty after her Masters show at the Royal College of Art was the moment that I realised these wishes could come true. Kirsty’s exhibit of a fridge overflowing with kaleidoscopic weave creations of her own hand, not only showed that she had a innate talent with colour balance and innovation but also a deep seated understanding of weave, acquired from her Scottish roots. Luckily the idea of taking tweed as the starting point for an adventure into modern textile design greatly appealed to Kirsty and Dashing Tweeds was born.

On Thursday 25th April you will have a chance to learn how our creative process works. Kirsty will talk about the way she translates her ideas into fabric, how we go about the continuing development of tweed as modern sports wear and how important colour is to both design and everyday life.

Kirsty will also talk about textile production in the UK today and the rise of interest in British wools. As you know we were once the global centre for textile production and the skills learnt over hundreds of years are still in use today and being improved upon constantly. In order to be relevant globally now it is important for the weave industry to innovate and we will discuss some of the exciting developments the future has in store you.
