Back in 2011 our Editor attended the graduate exhibition of  Joanna Fowles and Deborah Vessey (see here). A year later she followed up with both ladies in a post titled Life After Uni . Textile designer Joanna Fowles who migrated back to Australia talked about finding and developing her creative identity. We are pleased to publicise that she has launched her first online shop. Support your fellow Complexd Women by checking our her site out and spreading the word – https://joannafowles.myshopify.com/ 

‘The collection is made in Sydney with each item dyed by hand and printed in the studio by the designer herself. Pieces are then beautifully sewn into product by a local maker. Wherever possible fabrics, dyes and printing inks are ethically and sustainably sourced’

‘My work is process driven by a focus on hand elements and mixed media. I experimentswith dye, shibori, print and digital techniques. These processes are combined to create a unique timeless quality’
