Creating bespoke clothing & accessories under the name ‘Fallen Masques’. I gained my technical qualifications in design back in the ‘nineties from Coventry Technical College, and was taught by many of the same team who are now running the successful Fashion degree course at Coventry University.
Having lost my job at university owing to Covid cutbacks last summer, but this gave me the push to unpack my sewing machines and get creative again!
I’ve created made-to-measure gothic/alternative wear and made outfits for bands such as Cradle of Filth, Corpus Delicti, This Burning Effigy, Suspiria and Coventry’s own, Attrition.
It gave me the push to unpack my sewing machines and get creative again!

I make gothic garments and accessories inspired by nature, surreal and fairytale elements. Many of my items are made from upcycled vintage fabrics and trimmings and I also accept bespoke orders. I sell many of my creations to the US and Europe, through my Etsy store ‘Fallen Masques’. I also collect and lovingly restore antique pieces, namely Edwardian and Victorian mourning clothing.
