Antonia Alexander, bespoke dressmaking, costumier and alterations.
My identity as a designer is driven by the pleasure of fancy dress and nostalgia.
Locally I was always involved in carnivals and Mayfair. I have made costumes for the Mayfair procession three times and have been the youngest dressmaker to ever take on the responsibility. I love working with community groups like the Cavaliers and Torrington Players because growing up in a small town with a close knit community has given me a huge sense of identity which I am very thankful for.
I would describe my designs as very theatrical, playful and humorous.
I have a particular passion for up-cycling and reworking clothing. I believe it is so important to utilise an items lifespan to avoid textile landfill and reduce global warming.
