Juliana Sissons
When Juliana Sissons graduated from the University of Brighton in 2003 she received the outstanding Achievement Award for her degree show. Her collection sold to shops in London and Los Angeles and won her a student knitted textile award. Her own fashion label was launched in 2005 with the help of a business development award from The Crafts Council. She now produces diverse and exciting ranges of knitwear as well as teaching pattern cutting, textiles and fashion in London, Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings. Textiles and knitwear are more recent examples of Juliana’s work as she has a background in Theatre and Film costume design, Savile Row tailoring, and pattern cutting for many designers in the fashion industry including Alexander McQueen, Antoni & Alison and Shelley Fox. Juliana’s work represents a new direction in knitwear as she uses her skills in pattern cutting and tailoring to give a sculptural feel to her clothes. Her ideas come from the way the material drapes on the stand and eventually responds to the female form. Work is influenced by Sissons’s interest in historical costume and especially structured underwear. Machine knitting techniques are manipulated on several gauges and intricate details are created using a large French knitting wheel to create medallions inserted into the garments as modern day lace.
