Alison Willoughby
Textiles
Alison Willoughby is best known for making one-off, elaborately patterned skirts. They are as much works of art as pieces of clothing, but she is reluctant to be described as either a fashion designer or a fine artist, preferring to call herself a textile designer. 'It's annoying being put in a strict category,' she says. 'But I trained as a textile designer and my material is fabric and for me, fabric is where the excitement lies.'
