Esme Young
Summary
Joining us at Audible Studios is Esme Young, English fashion designer and judge on the BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee.
Beginning her career in the 1970s, Young established her brand 'Swanky Modes', opening a shop in Camden Town. Her designs were sought after, and appeared in ID and Nova. She has also designed costumes for films such as Bridget Jones's Diary and Trainspotting, including the iconic bunny outfit for Renée Zellweger.
Esme Young has now written Behind the Seams, her memoir looking back over her life and time in fashion, from where it started at the tender age of seven, to regularly appearing on our screens to judge fellow fashion designers. In this interview, we spoke to her about how she came to be on Sewing Bee, what she loves about teaching and why sewing is good for the mind.
