Designer review: Joy Williams

BY admin on June 4, 2014

Latex designer Joy Williams hails from the UK and is one who thinks outside the box when it comes to innovating with latex sheeting as a medium for fashion design.  She’s made intricate inlays that are truly couture, and she also one of the first designers we’ve encountered who is creating embossed latex fashions.

She’s used a variety of methods for creating the ‘quilted’ look by embossing latex with a substrate underneath the sheeting, and she’s also created floral and geometric shapes.  Her work is truly captivating!

Joy states on her Etsy profile:

Specialising in bold, contemporary designs, Joy’s work shies from the stereotypical, utilizing traditional and cutting edge techniques to create exquisitely embellished pieces.  Pieces from Joy’s 2010/11 collection take inspiration from 17th century Damascus glass with clean architectural silhouettes…  The 2011/12 collection takes this textural journey further, borrowing streamline, Deco geometry and translating it through quilting and paneling.
