Bethany Éowyn Kelman is a Designer Maker based in Cambridge, UK.
I graduated from the Cambridge School of Art BA (Hons) Fine Art course with first-class honours. During my degree I specialised in Fibre Arts and made sculptural dresses from unusual materials. I love to sew and I have always made and customised my own clothing. After graduation I decided to embrace my inner seamstress!
In January 2008 I started my first clothing label Jezebelles Boutique selling handmade clothing and accessories. I offered a custom dressmaking service, making bespoke clothing for happy customers all over the world. My designs were stocked by a variety of shops in the UK, Italy and the United States. I made several custom wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses, as well as outfits for performers, children’s clothing and quilts. I no longer offer a custom dressmaking service, but my handmade accessories can be found in my Etsy shop.
My brother Aleister is a graphic designer based in Tokyo, Japan. We both love Japanese design in all its forms and in July 2011 I travelled to Tokyo to visit him. Together we sourced exquisitely beautiful Japanese fabric and lace which became the inspiration for our new clothing label Look Street. Our first ready-to-wear collection launched in Spring 2012.
I collect Blythe dolls and other Japanese fashion dolls and I am proud to have been part of the Blythe doll community for many years now! I make and sell miniature doll clothing too through my Etsy shop Dolly Mixture.
I also dabble in photography. You can see my photos over on my Flickr page.
This blog is a place for me to share my creative projects, adventures and inspiration.
