Barbara Hepworth was a particular inspiration for me throughout my final year at Uni, with her abstract sculptural forms inspiring many of the textures within and concepts behind my graduate knitwear collection.

In an interview clip, she describes her own experiences in connection to the landscape: “

<p>As we are sure you already know, we rave on about manufacturing our ED-1 jeans in the UK. We proudly work with the best in the business here in Britain as only the best will do for the best jeans in the UK. The place where we get the construction side of the manufacturing done is Blackhorse Lane Ateliers (apart from the riveting which Tom does at home while sitting in his underwear.)</p>
<p>We wanted to give you all a glimpse into Blackhorse Lane Ateliers so we headed up to North London and took some candid shots of the factory while they were working. It is an amazing experience getting to see the workers in action, each one a master at their job. The Atelier is also a central part of the community, hosting a shop where you can buy local produce and also selling freshly baked sour dough bread which seemed to be very popular while we were there!</p>
<p>Soon we will have more to show you to give you more insight into Blackhorse Lane Ateliers but here for now are some images we took.</p>
