Melissa Thompson FASHION DESIGNER

Melissa is currently completing her final year Menswear collection, studying Fashion Design at Central St Martin’s College of Art and Design.

With future aspirations of designing her own fashion label, Melissa is currently researching the re-fabrication of iconic garments, showcasing the truth behind the way in which clothes can act as an extension of a person’s personality and a definition of their self-image.

She finds that music can have a subliminal influence on her creative nature. She also finds it fascinating the way that people define their social scene through an inter-woven relationship with music and fashion.

After a year of living and working in the couture fashion capital of Paris, Melissa is rediscovering the diversity and freedom of London that her creativity requires to thrive.

“In London, craft is prevalent, instinctive, constantly evolving and this is what I do.”
