Question and Answer

with Alix......

What was it that brought you to Skew...

I was just finishing my MA ( In Illustration & Communication ) browsing the University of The Arts website and came across your ad for a textile design role. I love the diversity that print, pattern and products bring and I felt like Skew could be a good match.

And ten year later…is it?

Hahahaha yes, yes it is.

Phew!

What is you ideal project?

I’d love to be able to work on a fashion brand and oversee the project from moodboards, to design and actually develop and ship products. I love to visit factories, pick fabrics, see prototypes, run photoshoots, everything - sometimes it’s frustrating to deliver a style guide and walk away.

Great, and you’ve done that for yourself with your significant side hustle right?

At Bandit Circus yes. I threw myself into it without really knowing about all the aspects of having a business. I really, really enjoy working with photographers, considering marketing and how to present my products to people. It makes me happy.

You’re not from London are you...

I’m French, from Nice and I miss the sun ☀️ and the sea. I took it for granted for years and now I realise it is a big part of me. When I go back to Nice I go to the beach every day.

The compensations of London must be pretty big to drag you away from Nice...

I love London, it’s a place where everything is on your doorstep. The museums, shops and activities. I love the diversity, how busy it is, even though it can be very tiring - I love the people.

We’ve work with amazing clients - why do you think they work with us.

When there’s a project that comes into the studio - everyone is on board. We push ourselves to give more than what the client expects. We’re friendly, work really well as a team and get along really well. I think it comes across to the client and they trust us. We care.

Let’s get social
