Manx designer represents Island on UK fashion scene

An Island designer is flying the Manx flag in the UK fashion and costume design industries.

UCM alumna Shannen Samuel studied its Art Foundation Course and now has a career in sustainable fashion, including showcasing a TT-inspired recycled collection at New York Fashion Week.

Shannen now works in film costume design and is Creative Director of 'bleaq', a platform for emerging sustainable designers.

She is currently designing costumes for a Manx folklore-inspired short film, set to be filmed on the Island later this year.
