Graduation year

2011

Her graduation collection entitled Enceladus 0.111 originated from her love of space and nature, concentrating on presenting a clean and fresh collection that challenged how knitwear is traditionally made and perceived. Using local yarn including cotton and silk on fine gauge industrial machines she saw her vision take on a new life, pushing her technical abilities on the machine whilst creating new techniques to produce the collection. All pieces were handmade in the UK.

Adele is extremely passionate about using organic, sustainable and recycled products bringing forth an awareness and responsibility to the fashion industry. Keen to initiate some ideas of her own in this field she is always trying to think of new ideas using sustainable materials and methods through design, illustration, painting, sewing and knitting.

She has worked in London, Brighton as well as Amsterdam working for such companies as Viktor & Rolf.
