POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A little behind the scenes in the studio ✂️🌺🇲🇺

Come with me as I bring a Mauritian Sega costume to life — from fabric and construction to the finished piece.

Sega is more than a dance. It’s a beautiful part of our heritage, history and identity, passed down through generations and celebrated through movement, music and dress.

As a Mauritian designer, creating these pieces allows me to keep exploring the connection between culture, fashion and identity through my work.

Made with love, from the studio to the dance floor. 🤎

Who gets to tell the stories that shape our society?

Our brilliant @josiekyan joined the What’s Going On podcast to talk about Breadwinners, creativity, community, and how positive storytelling can help challenge stereotypes around young refugees and people seeking asylum.

From mentoring and work experience to HEY, SALAM, HOLA, BWAKEYE. Josie shares how we’re working alongside young people to celebrate identity, belonging and joy, and help people be seen as individuals, beyond the headlines.

🎧 Watch the full podcast via our Linktree.

A huge thank you to @grooveschool and @3space for making this conversation possible 🧡

The podcast was recorded at International House. Our home and an important space for Breadwinners and so many community organisations.

We’re supporting @save_nour and the campaign to save International House and protect this special community space.

A little look at one of my favourite commissions 🖤

For my client’s wedding, I had the opportunity to bring her love for Gothic style into a traditional Mauritian Sega costume — merging two worlds that are incredibly meaningful to her, while still celebrating the beauty of our culture.

I enjoyed this commission so much. As a gothic girly myself, being able to explore Gothic aesthetics through Mauritian heritage made this project such a special experience. 🖤🇲🇺

From the fabrics and silhouettes to the construction, dyeing, fittings and finishing touches, every detail was created with her vision in mind.

And the best part? She loved it. 🤍

I’ll be sharing a more detailed reel soon, taking you behind the scenes from selecting the fabrics → construction → fittings → dyeing → final touches → the finished look.

A little glimpse into the process behind bringing Mauritius meets Gothic to life.

From concept to final piece 🇲🇺🇯🇲✨

A special graduation sash created to celebrate heritage, identity and achievement — bringing together two cultures in one design.

This piece features a half Mauritius 🇲🇺 and half Jamaica 🇯🇲 flag, combined with rich gold embroidery, personalised lettering, intricate appliqué, gold trim and statement fringing.

Every detail was designed and handmade with the wearer in mind — from preparing the sash and placing each element, to stitching the embroidery and finishing the gold fringe.

It’s always so rewarding seeing a design go from an idea on paper to a finished piece ready to be worn and celebrated. 🤎✨

Designed & handmade by me 🥰

We’re delighted to be a part of this year’s Open House Festival to showcase Home Between Homes, a new photographic exhibition featuring some of the faces behind hosting.

Over the last year, we’ve worked with @evemilnerphotography on a series of 18 portraits of our hosts – from Herbert & Eva, a couple who fled World War 2, to footballer and broadcaster @garylineker. All the photographs have been taken at hosts’ homes and showcase the welcoming environments created for their guests.

The free exhibition, which also features some of the stories of those involved, will be on display at @3spaceorg in Brixton on Friday 18 September from 12pm to 6pm. You’re also invited to join us at 6pm for a special talk featuring some of our hosts and team.

Bookings for the festival are now open and registering in advance is strongly recommended. Click the link in our bio to find out more and sign up.

A little behind-the-scenes of a commission that was both creatively exciting and personally challenging.

This project reminded me that bespoke fashion isn’t just about the final garment. It’s about the hours of design development, communication, sourcing, construction, problem-solving, materials and creative energy that go into bringing one person’s vision to life.

It also reminded me why contracts, invoices and clear payment terms matter — especially as a small independent designer. When those commitments aren’t fully honoured, the impact isn’t just financial. It affects your time, your other work, your energy and, honestly, your confidence.

I’m sharing this not to attack anyone, but because I think it’s important to be honest about the realities of working in fashion and running a creative business.

I’ve taken some valuable lessons from this experience and will be putting stronger boundaries and processes in place for future commissions.

Protect your time. Protect your creativity. Protect your business. And never let one difficult experience make you question your worth. 🤍
