Bethany Williams worked with TIH Models on her SS18 Lookbook, an agency that supports youth in London who are affected by homelessness. Models Mustafa & Christopher are both unemployed and homeless in London. Social change is important to Bethany who has been working with Shelter for over 7 years.
“Knitwear has been created through Bethany Williams signature approach, taking recycled wool and denim from Kent and then hand knitting them through cottage industry on the Isle of Man where she grew up. Raw materials are sourced from Chris Carney Collections, a recycling and sorting facility where it does on the be washed, cut and unravelled before the hand knitting process. Other denim elements within the collection are sourced alongside this and unpicked before being reconstituted into new garments.”
