About
Bethany Williams is an artist, humanitarian and sustainable fashion designer.
Bethany Williams London was launched with a mission to create positive, social and environmental change in the world. Since its inception, the studio has grown exponentially, establishing itself as a leading figure in the creative industries when it comes to setting sustainable and ethical standards.
Each project or collection is approached from an intersectional sustainability and social point-of-view which Bethany set up at the core of her business which is built within a framework of a social enterprise.
Bethany values empathy and above all compassion within her practice, believing in highlighting important community stories that might have been overlooked. More recent themes explore her personal experience with chronic illness, mental health, invisible disability and how life changing these experiences can be.
A focus on art practice has led her to push against the cyclical nature of the fashion industry, establishing longer term modes of working through commissions and projects.
Her current body of work explores chronic pain, recovery and the importance of nature, drawing on her connections to her home countryside in the Isle of Man, and her love of sea swimming in the Irish sea, and involving processes such as natural dyeing with specific plants including wild blaeberries.
Bethany has collaborated with Adidas, Kering, Browns, The Design Museum, Somerset House, Tate, V&A, and has won numerous awards including The Art Foundation Award, Queen Elizabeth II Award for Design, Emerging Menswear Designer, and The Vogue Fashion Fund.
Stockists have included: Harrods, Selfridges, Saks Fifth Avenue, Galleries Lafayette, Nordstrom
