Sibel Lagerdahl

Sibel is the mother Shabitats own in-house ethical fashion boutique designer, Leftover.
Leftover grew out of combining the frustration with the mass produced, unethical disposable fast-fashion and the desire to create an original and unique look that was sustainable, ethical yet stylish.  Representing the irony of waste materials being transformed into beautiful items.

Inspired from imperfections and developed from existing details and seams, all items completely unique. They are individually designed and hand-finished to a high standard. Leftover believe eco fashion doesn't have to be boring, createing designs that are fun, different and original. So you can create your own style...
More examples can be seen here: http://www.leftover.co.uk/

Dan Johnson

Dan Johnson is a painter and screen printer whose work often combines these media.

His work has been exhibited widely and he recently had work chosen for the V&A collection. He runs a screen printing studio in Lewes, East Sussex called Another Fine Mesh. Like many of us, Dan finds it uncomfortable bigging himself up in the third person, so he’s going to leave it there.

Hormazd Narielwalla

Hormazd has developed an appreciation for bespoke tailoring; in particular, the cutters’ all-important brown paper patterns of each customer. This fascination, coupled with the creative interpretation of the patterns, prompted him to produce a limited edition book entitled Dead Man’s Patterns. This artistic design story was inspired by a set of bespoke patterns belonging to a deceased customer. The concept was to recreate the patterns as objects of art, using the unique theme, which has become his trademark. He has since become the first recipient of the highly sought after International Rector Scholarship from the University of Arts, London.

In his quest for artistic creativity, he has foraged for forms in historic tailoring archives and through visuals shows previously untold stories. He uses photography, his own sketches and digital composition collages to create sets of playful artworks. See Hormazd's website for more information and new projects.

Melanie Simmonds

Melanie has experimented with the overlaying and manipulation of images, photomontage, macro photography, photograms, scanography and enlarging individual images in order to experiment with the perception of scale.

She considers herself very lucky for she has the ability to notice and appreciate the fine details and beauty in her surroundings that often go unnoticed. Whether a piece of moss coated in dew drops or patterns in the bark of a tree; Melanie uses her camera to zoom in and capture an image that conveys a mind-altering perspective of the world around her.
