Charlotte Maeva Perret

Charlotte Maeva Perret joined Fashion Space Gallery as a Design Resident in 2015, bringing her research into embroidery, craft heritage and the relationship between hand and machine processes.

Her residency explored the traditions of French haute couture embroidery and their relevance to contemporary fashion practice — investigating how hand skills acquired over centuries are being transformed by new technologies and changing industrial conditions.

Working in dialogue with the gallery's curatorial team and visiting practitioners, Perret developed new work that brought together traditional embroidery techniques and contemporary design thinking.
