Y CYMOEDD
My Kingston University Graduate Collection
Inspired by my Welsh Heritage
My name is Molly Gregory, I am a women's wear knitwear designer. The starting point for my final collection began when I found stunning portraits of Welsh women knitting in traditional Welsh dress from the 19th century.
I remember when I was younger dressing up in traditional Welsh dress for St David’s Day and loving having a day in school dedicated to learning about everything Welsh. ‘Y CYMOEDD’ focuses on my love for my heritage by exploring the rich history of Wales creating a modern women’s wear collection that captures this.
I have fallen in love with knitwear design and the heritage aspect of of Welsh Tapestry's. Knit is so unique as it can be used to create your own fabrics, prints and textures. Within my knitwear designs, I often work with bright colours and patterns making a conscious effort to use sustainable yarn fibres like wool and cotton.
As a women’s wear designer, I love working across the board with both prints and knits alongside interesting fabrics to create detailed collections with depth and character.
