Hawthorne & Heaney at Glossier

January 13, 2023 by Connie Mabbott

We have been extremely busy with personalised embroidery events recently, one of them being at Glossier’s flagship UK store in Covent Garden.

The building it’s self is one of the most beautiful in Covent Garden, and the interior did not disappoint either.

It was a stunning setting to work in, and we thoroughly enjoyed discussing the personalisation services on offer with each client.

We were monogramming Glossier’s sought after GlossiWEAR collection, which included their famous lilac hoodies (which was so popular it sold out on the Saturday!), pink hoodies, and their red and and grey sweatshirts.

It was a frosty weekend, so no doubt the cosy garments were even more desired than usual! Below are some of the results from Saturday & Sunday the 10th & 11th of December.

Large Format Embroidery For Interiors

December 15, 2022 by Connie Mabbott

Statement, large format embroidery for interiors can elevate a room and completely transform a space from simple to luxurious. 

Our experienced team of expert embroiderers are on hand to transform your seemingly impossible ideas for interiors into reality, by pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with digital embroidery.

Previous projects range from delicate repeats for home furnishings to create subtle, cosy spaces – to dramatic, large format embroidered pieces for upholstery and artwork in more impressive interiors.

 

Damien Hirst’s Empathy Suite

All following photos of the Empathy Suite were taken by Clint Jenkins

Our biggest statement interior commission to date has been the embroidery we worked on for Pop-Culture Artist, Damien Hirst’s famous interior design project for Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

Named the Empathy Suite, the 2-story suite has been labelled the most expensive hotel suite in the world, and definitely lives up to expectations. At Hawthorne & Heaney we had the pleasure of producing statement, large scale embroideries for the interiors cushions and upholstery – all inspired by Damien Hirst’s own artworks!

Not many will have had the pleasure of seeing the results in person, however it’s clear from Clint Jenkins’ photography that the end result was impressive.

 

Hakkasan’s Mayfair Restaurant

In 2015 we were also commissioned by Hakkasan, (an award-winning high end restaurant in Mayfair, London) to embroider their leather upholstery with unique, detailed dragon designs.

The project was exceptional and the results were beautiful and powerful, especially when the leather hides were finally applied to the furniture as seen in the photos.

Flux Interiors Embroidery Collection

Not all of our interior projects consist of statement, illustrative and large scale pieces for maximal interiors like our work for Damien Hirst and Hakkasan. We have also worked on more subtle embroideries which look impressive in smaller, homely spaces. For example, our embroidery work for Flux Interiors.

Embroidered Headboard and Cushion by Hawthorne & Heaney for Flux Interiors

This collection of embroidery designs was used across multiple rooms. Some of the items were decorative scatter cushions, whilst others were bordered curtains and  head boards. It was another exciting project to work on and great to see how the collection came together in the space.

Hawthorne & Heaney at Cad & The Dandy

November 14, 2022 by Connie Mabbott

Event season is well and truly here, and we love being involved in live activations  – this year’s Cad & The Dandy event in their Savile Row showroom was no exception!

Being a high end bespoke tailors, the product had to fit Cad & The Dandy’s luxury aesthetic and brand values, so we were given the task of monogramming quality items such as bespoke shirts, silk handkerchief’s and labels for jacket linings with tiny, delicate lettering.

Embroidery For Film and Performance

October 28, 2022 by Connie Mabbott

As a London based Embroidery studio, we have enjoyed working on a vast range of projects for film, TV and performance.

Embroidery in film not only creates an impact and looks beautiful, it often sets a scene by indicating a characters wealth, heritage, and even plays a part in specifying an era where necessary. In performance, it’s a way of artistic expression and is often used to make stunning, standout costumes for stage.

 

Dr. Strange

Our most high profile embroidery project for film to date is the exceptional costumes for Benedict Cumberbatch’s character, Dr. Strange and co star Chiwetel Ejiofor, Baron Modo in the 2016 blockbuster.

These were detailed pieces that made up both garments – some with a unique cross stitch effect created with digital embroidery, and others with traditional vermicelli embroidery. Upon first look you may not notice the detail and craftsmanship on these pieces, however they play a vital part in creating the overall effect for both costumes.

FKA Twigs, Magdalene

A fantastic example of how we can push boundaries through experimental digital embroidery techniques is the work we did for FKA Twigs’ 2019 tour. We had the pleasure of working on five outfit changes for the artist with superstar stylists Ed Kay and Matthew Josephs.

The head scarf and corset in the above photo are just two of the pieces we embroidered for FKA Twigs’ Magdalena Tour.

We often work closely with the design team to make sure that placement and size is accurate, especially for embroideries like this corset piece which made up the entire back panel of the garment.

 

‘Diana’ a BBC Documentary

Embroidery for film doesn’t always have to be for costumes or grand interiors. At Hawthorne & Heaney, we worked on a series of embroideries for the 2017 BBC documentary, Diana.

These were simple, script text pieces which were used as chapter openings for the on screen tribute. A unique way to separate chapters in television.

We love working on embroidery for film and performance here at Hawthorne & Heaney, it’s a joy to see how they come together in the on the big screen or on stage and we can’t wait to get started on the next!

Fashioning Masculinities: The Art of Menswear, at the Victoria and Albert Museum

September 2, 2022 by Intern

Masculine fashion, what does it look like to you? Menswear has evolved and changed over the years as society has developed along with international influence and the greater understanding of what masculinity means to us as individuals and designers. The Victoria and Albert Museum has masterfully curated this exhibition which guides you from the early European menswear, heavily influenced by the idealized chiseled Greek and roman gods, through to the French revolution and its influence on fashion, and then finally finishing in contemporary fashion and how designer’s look to challenge concepts and dissolve the boundaries of menswear. 

This in depth exhibition really describes and allows you to understand the why’s and the how’s of menswear, it provides an abundance of information to really allow for you see the links between the period the clothes were worn and what the colours, styles, fabrics and connotations meant to the men as well as society. It gives you the information you thought you already knew, but allows you to see how general life influenced fashion and hopes to influence the public on how menswear is extremely characterful, and a constantly changing industry.

Giorgio Armani 1994 – Cotton, Silk, Linen

The first room is full of many different topics. With one side showing 18th century under garments and an impressive Armani suit, and the other side overcoming dysphoria. Giorgio Armani’s approach to menswear derived from his respect and appreciation for the male figure – he stripped out the internal structure and let the fabric drape, aiming to reduce rigidity in the look and soften menswear.

Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 1996 – French designed, Italian Made

For his from his spring summer collection 1996, Jean-Paul Gaultier printed images of clothes onto garments. However, this jacket on show displayed a male torso, a trend we are beginning to see more of in fashion recently.

The exhibition also addressed ‘man scaping’ and ‘body forming’, which is the use of elasticated fabrics to change the body’s form. Spanks, a company originally founded for women’s wear hosiery expanded in 2010 into menswear and allowed for diversity on the high street.

The history of the Jockstrap was also covered – how it was originally designed for cyclist’s and as the modern boxer briefs became tighter, the need for the jockstrap disappeared yet it still holds an erotic currency. Through visiting this exhibition we also learnt that GC2B was the first trans-owned company who produced binders; gender-affirming undergarments worn to flatten the chest which are used by a wide spectrum of transgender men and transmasculine, non-binary people. 

The stereotypical ‘masculine’ body form of the greek god’s was adressed with towering sculptures of the male form on display, with reference to Hercules who is the archetype of strength and bravery. He is often depicted fighting or armed, yet the most famous portrayal of him shows him at rest, hinting at his emotions as well as showing his exaggerated physique. I find this quite interesting and telling of how the industry is growing along with the understanding and allowing of men’s emotional feelings, which is increasingly being shown in fashion.

The Three Graces – Virgil Abloh, JW Anderson & Ludovic de Saint Sermin

Designers Virgil Abloh for Off-White, JW Anderson and Ludovic de Saint Sernin recreated the classical depictions of ‘The Three Graces’. For this they used sheer fabrics like organza and taffeta which are  usually associated with womenswear, encouraging gender neutrality as a reality, not a trend.

Menswear for many centuries was flamboyant, colourful and full of flounce and lace to show wealth, power and status. Those who could afford to bring dyes over from America, Asia and Africa would want to show that they could, and so would wear the bright colours these dyes created. The colour pink, with rich hue’s of magenta was a sign of money, not of gender identity which it is seen as today. Lace and ribbons were also a highly common element of a man’s look, especially in the French courts. An English gentleman John Evelyn commented ‘that one youth had as much ribbon on him as would have plundered six shops… all his body was dres’t like a may pole’ – but now when we see a man dressed in bright colours or with added detail of delicate lace around the trim, we think it is a modern twist of the original straight forward men’s wear, how wrong could we be.

 The ‘classical’ monochrome sleek men’s look we think of today started in Europe after rapid change as consequence of the French revolution 1789-99. Lavish Textiles and ornamentation still featured on womenswear, while the spirit of rationality reshaped menswear into a more practical form as men started to adopt a more practical and reserved attire. The industrialisation of cities like London and Paris saw the increase of soberly and uniformly dressed men, black became the new ‘trendy’ colour.

Tailors looked to exploit this by using one colour that allowed for emphasis on sculpting the human form and adding subtle detail, creating the new modern uniform of the men’s suit which was accessible for all. This monochromatic dress suit is the epitome of masculine fashion, however contemporary designers are looking at how to combine masculine and feminine styles together, a very exciting concept!

Within this exhibition there is so much more to unwrap and discover. If you have found this blog has interested you in learning more about modern menswear as well as the history of men’s fashion, we would highly recommend you take a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum to see it for yourself!

Hawthorne & Heaney for the Tiffany Gala

August 12, 2022 by Connie Mabbott

We recently had the pleasure of embroidering bespoke napkins for the August Tiffany Gala.

The event was organised by Alison Price Co. at the National Gallery in London’s Trafalgar Square, a beautiful setting for luxury cocktails and an evening meal.

We were commissioned to embroider the ‘Tiffany ‘ logo in aqua blue onto 180 napkins, which were used to adorn every dinner place at the event. Each was decorated with a Tiffany napkin, flowers, candles and extravagant tableware for a truly opulent event.

Drawn & Formed Exhibition

August 5, 2022 by Intern

The Goldsmith’s Centre’s Drawn + Formed exhibition; in partnership with the Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers 

This exhibition explores the history and contemporary uses of hand-drawn wire in embroidery, jewellery and silversmithing. London was first introduced to gold and silver wire drawing by craftsmen from Europe around the 15th century, however, there is reference to combining metal wire with textiles as far back as the writing of the bible.

Wire drawing is the process of hand making wire for jewellery and silversmithing, using a draw bench at room temperature. The draw bench reduces the thickness of the metal by forcing it through a series of draw plates, although today metal thread is most commonly mass manufactured using moulds. The resulting wire is polished and coated with a precious metal, after which the wire can be drawn and reduced to a tenth of the size of a human hair!

This necklace by Teri Howes (Image 1) was inspired by the double helix structure of DNA. The use of contrasting gold and grey/black filaments highlights the helical structure more obviously. Howes uses crochet to create her jewellery pieces, an unlikely technique when using wire, but very effective.

This display case (Image 2) was almost hidden in plain sight as you entered the exhibition and it was only when I returned to the entrance that I noticed the familiar items from the exhibition advert. They were smaller than I expected but this made the intricacy even more impressive. 

I can see why the curators chose the stunning Tiger by Laura Baverstock to promote the exhibition; I noticed I wasn’t the only one admiring it whilst there. The Lenticular Brooches by Andrew Lam were packed with scale-like beads, appearing like textured fur from afar.

Image 3: Morphosis by Annalisa Middleton Gilt wires, silk, wool, leather, glass | Image source: https://www.annalisamiddleton.com/copy-of-hand-and-lock-1

This goldwork design titled Morphosis by artist Annalisa Middleton (Image 3) immediately caught my eye due to the striking contrast of bright colours against the shimmering gold. This has to be my favourite piece from the exhibition. Middleton took inspiration from cellular biology and marine life and combined this with her interest in futuristic technologies to create this fantastical, organic, data capsule. The artist describes the design as a ‘portal’ for the viewer to be immersed in her world. From a biological perspective you could interpret the main feature of the design as a virus or a cell filled with a variety of organelles.

Image 4: Dandalarm II: Lifecycle by Kate Pankhurst Silver and copper smooth purl, pearl-purl, plate, twist, kid leather, silk and metal threads, bell alarm clock frame | Photo taken by Cadi Williams

Image 4 shows embroidery in a more unusual frame in the form of a used alarm clock. Pankhurst started her alarm clock series with Lockdown O’Clock, an alarm clock with an embroidered face and great feathery wings, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. This most recent addition to the alarm clock series was inspired by nature and growth, something that many appreciated more throughout lockdown.

Another personal favourite was this rose gold, three-dimensional piece titled Embrace by Naomi Aindow (Images 5 & 6). I kept coming back to this display and would notice extra details every time. This body adornment piece is part of Aindow’s Spores of Life collection inspired by the intricate details of lichen and moss. The focus of this shoulder piece is enhancing the scale of these details through textured hand stitching and beading. I particularly like the contrast between the smooth, shiny, glass beads and the soft, comfortable fields of french knots. The hand embroidered forms remind me of the diverse species seen in coral reef photography.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to The Goldsmith’s Centre and would highly recommend it to anyone else interested in goldwork, silversmithing and body adornment. My favourite design was easily the goldwork Morphosis piece by Annalisa Middleton, due to its biological context and personal connection to the artist. The exhibition has inspired me to be more adventurous and explore more obscure materials and processes in my practice.
