Design Crazy Lady

Our History

 

When the pandemic hit Agnes was working as a freelance pattern cutter/ grader and sample machinist, working for suppliers that serviced high street retailers. Due to store closures she was unable to work, resulting in  losing all of her income in 1 day.

Agnes, took this as an opportunity to be in control of her own destiny; initially she was planning to launch her own brand but noticed that there was quite a big need for her skills with small brands and start-ups. Therefore she focused herself on that side and put her own brand on hold. 

Agnes already has experience of making custom made garments from her early career, however since then her custom pattern cutting skills have advanced and this has opened up new doors for her. She started to work on Cosplay and screen accurate costumes to order. Since then she has teamed up with people who are working within the movie industry and special effects make-up and with them she was able to start designing costumes for specific events. As a result she is working to grow that side of her business as it brings her lots of joy and allows her to continue to learn new techniques.
