Sheffield designer Elizabeth A Edwards, a graduate of London's prestigious St. Martin's School of Art, served her apprenticeship under the watchful eye of the late Jean Muir, where her designs were shown on the catwalk during London Fashion Week. She then progressed to work with some of the country's most established names, including Betty Jackson, Catherine Walker and Mulberry, where she dressed many celebrities including Jennifer Saunders, Victoria Wood, Marianne Faithfull, Joanna Lumley and Adrian Edmonson. Her designs have been seen on the UK High Street in stores such as Zara, H&M, Etam and BHS, and in boutiques across Europe and the United States. In 2005 she worked directly with Twiggy to develop a range of clothing for mail order giant Great Universal.
In 2003, at a time when “eco-friendly clothing” was in its infancy, Elizabeth was commissioned to design the pioneering EthicallyMe range: stylish clothes, ethically made & produced fairly.
Five years later she launched her own collection with similar values. Her eco-couture label, Hope&Glory, offers a range of unique, hand-crafted, one-off designs, using recycled, vintage, Fairtrade, organic and rescued fabrics and garments. This range was officially launched on 30 July 2008 at The Walnut Club Champagne Bar, Ecclesall Road, and was also showcased on the catwalk at Sheffield's Botanical Gardens during their annual “Art in theGardens” event, on 6 & 7 September 2008. These fashion shows were organized by the Floral ImPACT team and together have raised in excess of £2,000 for PACT – the Parents' Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia, which is based at the Children’s Hospital in Sheffield. You can see all the outfits from the shows on the gallery pages of our website.
If you would like to make an appointment to view and try the clothes in the comfort of Elizabeth’s private studio, conveniently located close to Sheffield’s buzzing Ecclesall Road, then please contact us.
