ILARIA HARRIS – FROM ZEST & LAVENDER

Ilaria is a contemporary textile and fashion artist who blends painting, threads, and fabric into wearable art. She learned embroidery techniques from Italian nuns at the age of eleven while developing her passion for drawing, painting, and History of Art. Her creative path was inspired by her natural environment around a rural and medieval village situated in the National Park of Gran Sasso. Studying at the Academy of Arts led to further fashion studies in Milan where she then worked for prestigious couture houses. Today she combines traditional sewing techniques with innovative design. Based in London, she is Head of Art & Design, while her own practice explores Italian heritage and British culture to create bespoke garments. Her work has been exhibited at sewing festivals and featured in magazines.
