Amy Barrie is a Melbourne-born London-based designer who graduated from Central Saint Martins. Barrie’s creative vision celebrates the art of storytelling and the power of narrative. Storytelling predates the written word and every culture around the world uses narrative to bring understanding, meaning and beauty to the human experience. As we venture through life, we are shaped by the inspiring stories of those who have gone before us and those who journey with us. Barrie incorporates the inspirational stories of extraordinary individuals into her work in order to empower the wearer as they travel through their own life-story.

Her work involves making her own textiles for garments by mixing various textile techniques such as pleating, devoré, embroidery and hand illustration to express detailed narratives. Barrie collaborates with organisations such as UN Women UK helping give back and empower people in the fight for equality. Lewis Carroll once described stories as ‘love-gifts’ and Barrie’s work is truly a labour of love. Her exceptional attention to detail and technical skill means that the Amy Barrie Brand offers a unique design-based story-telling experience.
