An inspirational ‘maker’, Alexandra Mann has forged quite
the fabric-focused career; she cut her teeth in cloth assisting the Head of
Couture at Vivienne Westwood, before moving into full time costume design.
Over the years, her work and inspiration-seeking travels
have led her to uncover wildly beautiful prints and fabrics, so it’s no coincidence
that these feature pride of place in her eponymous new collection of cushions and
travel accessories.
Brave emblems of grenades and razor blades are appliquéd
atop Alexandra’s pieces; quite the contrast to the reclaimed Sanderson cottons
beneath them.
It’s this juxtaposition of old and new that initially drew
us to Alexandra's work and to commission her to make a few exclusive-to-Roost Living styles. We hope you love them as much as we do!
