Celia Birtwell

I was recently sitting in the doctor's office reading Vanity Fair when I came across an article on a famous English designer, Celia Birtwell. I instantly fell in love with her design style. From 1966 to 1974, Birtwell and her then husband, Ossie Clark, made quite the duo. She designed whimsical textile prints and he would use her textiles to create clothing for famous people such as Mick Jagger and Twiggy.

After their marriage ended in '74, Birtwell chose a quieter life. In 1984, she opened her own fabric shop in Notting Hill. Since then, she has dabbled in all different forms of design such as wallpaper,(my personal favorite) fabric, fashion, hand bags, shoes, note cards and even cake decorating.

I've spent hours on her website Celia Birtwell. The website is beautiful with some simple animation and beautiful nature music playing in the background. Birtwell's website was designed by the very talented design firm Bose Collins that creates websites, animation and video, branding and illustration.
