Nanayaa Ntiri

Across her 3 years at Ravensbourne, she has specialised in Womenswear and formed a strong focus on the development of textiles through print, knit and fabric manipulation techniques. The way in which she works is very tactile, and she enjoys the endless possibilities of experimenting with different processes and techniques to create texture in innovative ways. With print and textiles being essential to her work, she often experiments with how these can assist in developing silhouettes. She hopes to further her knowledge in creating custom textiles, as she perceives that the choice of fabrication to be essential in portraying the narrative of a concept. Through romantic blossoming silhouettes combined with textiles inspired by organic earthy textures, her final collection ‘Garden Pleasures’, explores how the heart of a woman and the heart of a flower both exposed and protected, bloom as one. She has interned at Mary Katrantzou and Erdem.
