"I guess now I feel a little more cheeky," Ellen Poppy Hill expresses, revealing her shift in attitude post-graduation, shifting from anger to a more playful approach in her design.
Ellen shares, "People need to believe you, and they need to understand an image. They need to find it addressable, so I never felt there was space for me," reflecting on her challenge in the fashion industry.
Hill's collections exhibit a unique blend of personal stories and upcycled materials, inspired by "chopped-up and reassembled proverbs," showcasing her literary approach to fashion design.
Having grown up in a creative family, Ellen remarks, "I fell in love with the stories behind old garments, where each unsightly stain had its own visual language," highlighting her focus on the narrative behind fashion.
