Place of origin

Neisha Crosland is a London based textile designer who is renowned for her luxurious printed scarves sold internationally under her own label. Crosland studied graphic design at Camberwell School of Art, transferring to textiles after being inspired by the textural and sculptural qualities of the V&A's collection. She went on to study printed textiles at the Royal College of Art.

Initially working as a freelance designer, Crosland established her own textile design company in 1994 which produces furnishings, dress fabrics and accessories. Crosland states 'Flat pattern and how it is applied to three-dimensional form fascinates me. I seek to create designs with a symmetry and flow that can be likened to the geometric constructions occurring within nature.'
