Heidi Mottram worked in the world of art, fashion and textiles for several years before establishing her own line in 2007. A graduate from London College of Fashion and Central St Martins, Heidi started her career working with many major international designers including Vivienne Westwood and Matthew Williamson. Heidi is a specialist in eel skin as a textile and is considered the UK guru in the use of the product in design and fashion. She has discovered new ways to work with and manipulate the skins, including pleating, ruching, pin tucking and folding to create new textures and shapes. Heidi continues to develop the use of eel skin, working on commissions and projects worldwide.
