Meet the Textile Designers

We're in my textile design studio with our Head of Design, Helen Cary, and Textile, Surface Print and Product Designer Victoria Smethers. You're joining us as we work to finalise our new collection of fabrics.

Building Collections

We release new collections of fabric and wallpaper twice a year. For each new collection, we are always aiming to ensure that every colourway works with designs from our previous collections and that the fabrics are easy to use for professionals and aspiring designers alike.

Each collection encompasses a range of fabrics that are interchangeable and layer beautifully for a characterful scheme. We like to include a stripe, a floral, an embroidery, geometrics and a range of plains in every collection.

How to Use My Collections

When designing a collection, I am always thinking about how a fabric can be used. Many of our designs feature lots of different colours; this gives you plenty of choice as to what you can combine with a fabric and the colour schemes you can create using it.

It's important to me that every collection is interchangeable – you will always be able to find something in more recent collections that will combine perfectly with a fabric you bought from us many years ago.

Your Instructor

Nina Campbell

World-renowned interior and textile designer. House & Garden Lifetime Achievement Award.

British decorator Nina Campbell is undeniably one of the world’s most respected and influential interior designers of our time. In her 50 years in the industry, she has accumulated an unparalleled list of clients and design expertise. Nina’s enthusiasm and interest in design and interiors was developed when, at the age of 19, she went to work for John Fowler at the prestigious Sybil Colefax & John Fowler. Shortly afterwards, she set up her eponymous decorating business, where one of her first commissions was to design a castle in Scotland. Renowned for her contagious wit, brilliant sense of style and her unmistakably rich and elegant colour palette, Nina’s designs appeal to both young and old and sit well in both contemporary and traditional interiors. She continues to work on notable projects - both commercial and residential - across the globe, with both new clients and those who return across the generations.
