Carolyn Massey selected as winner of the Reflect Forward Award 2009

Carolyn Massey has been announced as the first ever fashion designer to be awarded Craft Centrals Reflect Forward award.

The award consists of a grant to go towards researching in the archives of museums of her choice.

Massey has chosen the Museum of London, The National Army Museum, and The Museum of Eton Life, at Eton School. 

"Carolyn's proposal to research historical garments whilst creating a cutting edge contemporary look sat really well with the Reflect Forward aim to enable designers to use museum collections as starting points for creating bold and fascinating new work"
Kate Osborn, Craft Central

The research and development will go on to form an exhibition at Craft Centrals gallery space in Clerkenwell in April 2009.
