FINALIST OF THE 2016 LVMH PRIZE

MOLLY GODDARDby MOLLY GODDARD

Holding a BA in Fashion Knitwear and a MA in Fashion Knitwear from Central St Martins London,
Molly Goddard specialises in traditional hand-craft techniques such as hand pleating, smocking and crocheting.
Her work touches upon themes of special occasions, nostalgia and coming of age, often taking inspiration from party dressing and Sunday best.
The techniques that she utilises serve to create clothes that are both delicate and fragile, but the character she designs for conflicts with the beauty of her technique, and brings a clumsy and charming awkwardness to her silhouettes and fabric combinations.
