Finn Sproats Graduate Portfolio

I’m Finn, a BA Fashion Textiles graduate from University of the West of England. My focus is sustainable design in leatherwork, garment & textile design, and print. My designs are the result of extensive leather and textile experiments / prototypes, and an intuitive garment design approach. I combine hand craft skills, contemporary surface design and upcycling methods to create sustainably sourced and manufactured looks with an innate eclectic aesthetic. My work often draws ideas from queer semiotic / subcultural research such as the punk movement, influencing me to innovate and distort conventional design aesthetics - whilst always focusing on environmentally and socially responsible design.
