ACTOR DESIGNER FILMMAKER
LOVER OF THE HANDMADE AND THE COLORFUL
Clare’s line focusses on the small-scale production of blockprinted and handmade scarves, and decorative pillows, as well as fabrics for interiors. She is inspired by antique textiles and traditional clothing, the people and places she loves, the power of color, the mystery of animals and nature, and a spirit of curiosity and hopefulness.
Clare cut her teeth in Istanbul, first working as an assistant to Josephine Powell on her collection of antique Anatolian flatweaves, then working for designer and antique textile expert extraordinaire Elizabeth Hewitt at Tulu Textiles. She has a background in antique and vintage textiles of Turkey, Central Asia, and northern India. TAMAM, the shop and brand, a partnership between Clare, Elizabeth Hewitt, and Hüseyin Kaplan, was in the East Village for five years.
