Jess Flynn Graduate Portfolio

A UWE fashion Textiles graduate specialising in Knit and print design. Immersed in a world of colour and texture my practice draws inspiration from the vibrancy around me. I specialise in knit wear design with skill sets in domestic and industrial knit machines, I have confidence in exploring and developing samples, swatches and garments. Also skilled in digital and physical means of textile print, often combining the two. This duality in my work allows me to push the boundaries of traditional textile design, infusing each piece with a unique and personal touch.I believe my work should be a representation of my self I don’t shy away from being bold. Inspiration for my designs stems from the world around me; I am constantly captivated by the vibrancy and diversity of my surroundings. Whether it’s the bold hues of a cityscape or the intricate patterns found in nature. I firmly believe that my work should be an authentic representation of myself. This belief is reflected in my fearless approach to design—embracing bold choices and vibrant palettes. My practice is a celebration of individuality and creativity, aiming to bring a sense of joy and excitement to those who engage with my work. As I continue to evolve as a designer, I remain committed to pushing my practice, continually seeking out new inspirations and techniques Nominated for the Graduate Fashion Week Zandra Rhodes Fashion Textiles Award.
