CURLYVIE – Evie Jeffrey

CURLYVIE - Evie Jeffrey is a creative who is inspired by the nexus of music and art to develop unique designs that capture the spirituality of the 60s for millennials. Her work transcends dressmaking, filmmaking and graphic design, taking inspiration from the social environment, the way people interact, and the 60s psychedelic movement. Expanding on her practice in graphics and textile design, her recent work ‘Connecting the Threads’ has directed a participatory and co-design research approach. It is a creative community providing a safe space for women experiencing homelessness and unemployment. The program aims to develop participant’s dressmaking skills, enabling them to reinvent garments and recycle fashion through an interactive journal. Creative projects demonstrate how designing, learning and assembling can help build confidence and improve the wellbeing of its members, offering the opportunity of empowerment.
