interview
perspectives
On collaborating
KK: When I'm expanding my own team, there's no
shortage of people who are strong on architecture
or design, but that's not so true when it comes to
understanding color and fabric from a textural point of
view. I look for someone who loves the loom. Part of it is
instinct and innate skill, but the other part is experience.

MW: That comes through with your collection. The idea
of working with someone like Kit is that you get her point
of view. It sounds obvious, but there are a lot of licenses
that bear no reflection to the name on the cover.

KK: When Martin came along with his design director,
David Harris, to view our ideas, it was nerve-racking. But
the process was fun because we got to travel to factories
in north England. Lancaster has so much historical
knowledge when it comes to fabric and textile production.
I hope that doesn't miss the next generation.
MW: Makers are so important. The people mixing colors
in sample tins have such a big role to play.

KK: You need a lot of texture within a background to
give fabric its depth. They have the know-how to do this
brilliantly. Before we began, I'd visited S Franses on
Jermyn Street [in London] to see their historical tapestries
and cartoons. I left fascinated by the large leaves and
creatures. We've been inspired by a centuries-old tradition,
but we've given it a new lease of life by making it look
wholly contemporary. Our love of folk art comes through
strongly.
MW: Yes, that aspect is deeply embedded in our DNA.
We've seen folk and heraldic art our whole lives in
churches, museums, and old buildings. We recognize it
somewhere deep in our souls.

KK: When we visited the factories, we were able to
draw on their deep knowledge of fabrics, using a linen
mix for the Friendly Folk design and a robust cotton
twill for Hedgerow. There's also a surprising chintz in a
contemporary design we've named Pear Tree. It's so out of
fashion, but chintz has a lovely finish and it's been fun to
modernize it.
MW: The collection has been so well-received. People
understand how to use it because of the way it's presented,
which is amazing when you think how complex your
work is.

KK: I wanted a collection that would be usable, accessible,
and not too expensive.
MW: The giant repeat called Mythical Land is one of our
most popular products. People love it. The collection has
done so well, we'd love to do another. hd
