Grace Williams, designer of South-West England's Rotten Ilk Studios, creates textural textiles using unconventional organic materials like latex, hair, fibres, and bone. Influenced by her dance background, she values bodily autonomy to explore physical manifestations of tangible forces, English history, and seduction through aesthetic disgust. A JCA Fashion Design & Accessories BA (Hons) graduate, she was shortlisted for the GFW26 Constructive and Surface Textiles Portfolio Awards.
