Morag Seaton (she/her)
Scottish designer and maker across fashion industry, education, research, arts and cultural sectors. Currently based in London.
I make clothes and objects such as bags and pockets. The things that I make derive from conversations, workshops and other public engagement research I facilitate with people about their clothing experiences, understandings and fictional ideas. Each project starts with an everyday or speculative question that seeks to unpack the socio-cultural, environmental and personal significance of the objects we wear.
