Discover the Colourful and Creative World of Imogen Heath
At Imogen Heath Ltd, we're thrilled to unveil our latest collection, a vibrant celebration of textiles, craft, and colour. Imogen Heath's new collection features an exquisite range of patterned sheer fabrics, painterly wallpapers, and luxurious hand-embroidered trims & borders, all meticulously designed by Imogen and made in the UK by skilled artisans.
Imogen Heath's work is deeply rooted in traditional craftsmanship, infused with an artist’s eye and a passion for colour. This collection is a tribute to her family’s creative heritage, drawing inspiration from her grandparents’ shared love of art and design. Inspired by photographs of her grandparents in the late 1940s & 50s; they were a treasure trove of ideas throughout the process of creating the new collection. These images, captured moments of joy and creativity, that have been transformed into patterns and motifs bringing the past to life.
"My grandparents' photographs are happy memories, showing my grandmother painting at home or on holiday in France. They wear the quintessential fashion of the time and offer a window into another era. Bringing them to life through my designs has been a privilege."
This collection is a perfect blend of contemporary design and historical inspiration. Celebrating craft and colour with a nod to the arts and crafts movement and heritage design, Imogen explores traditional patternmaking and her signature serendipitous style. Her painterly techniques create a range of pattern motifs that feel inherent and natural to the whole Imogen Heath Collection. Simple geometrics are set against unusual floral motifs in varying scales, creating fresh and playful wallpapers, lace, and embroidery.
Colour plays a central role throughout the collection. Imogen delves into an earthy yet rich colour palette inspired by the outdoors. "I enjoyed creating small studies on composition and proportions of colour. The designs that emerged from these studies helped me edit and refine my pattern ideas until I had a cohesive collection sharing a common language in colour, style, and inspiration," she explains.
