Emerging Fervour

UK born Kirsty Ward graduated in 2008 with a distinction from Central St Martins College. After showing her MA final collection on the London Fashion Week catwalk, Kirsty was snapped up by Alberta Ferretti to design for her in Italy, where she worked for a year and a half, before returning to England to work as a freelance womenswear/ jewellery designer for a variety of high end labels.

With not only a natural talent for fashion, Ward’s handmade embroideries have attracted interest and commissions from a variety of fashion’s heavy weights.

For this season, Kirsty teams up with London fashion week debutant David Longshaw (after meeting whilst both designing for Alberta Ferretti) to design jewellery for his A/W catwalk collection titled, ‘Escaping Emily’.
