Newham-based Magpie Project works with children and mothers who are homeless or at risk of homelessness – 80% of whom have no recourse to public funds (NRPF).
“All Our Children,” the title of the SS21 collection is inspired by the stories and lives of the people Williams has met at the Magpie Project and also symbolizes the importance of family spirit in a child’s life. Together with the families and illustrator and artist Melissa Kitty Jarram, children’s drawings were transformed into prints for the collection from deadstock, organic and recycled materials. Also of note in this collection are the inclusion of tailored pieces which demonstrate Williams expansive talents, and newly designed bags developed with Tottenham-based specialist Stevan Saville.
