Creative direction rooted in color, collection, image, surface, wash and production, carried from first reference to finished garment.
Led color across the line, building a palette that could carry the full collection. Every tone was dyed, washed and approved on real cloth, then held through production from first sample to garment on a body.
A full collection palette, resolved on actual garments rather than swatches on a screen. Grey through navy, rust, red, ochre and olive, washed and corrected by hand until the line held together.
Garments graded into a continuous tonal wheel — the whole collection read as one palette
Footwear sorted the same way — every silhouette and colorway grouped to a reference
The line laid out and color-graded at full scale, on the ground
Three seasons of collection direction, design and development for contemporary knitwear and ready-to-wear. Amelia shaped the line, the image and the material language, from silhouette and color to pigment dye, sun-fade wash, fully-fashioned knitwear and production.

Founder and creative director of a small-batch swim label built through design and image. Vintage-cut suits, recycled and deadstock fabric, made-to-order production, and a visual world that created a cult following.
Design and art direction for the 2019 Solid & Striped × Re/Done collaboration. A Woodstock-era summer of crochet, patchwork denim and striped knits, developed as both a product story and a campaign world.
A Parsons MFA thesis collection built around California nostalgia, surface and construction. Fine jersey, heavy denim, bonded seams, chemical erosion and sun-bleach washes, all developed by hand. Selected for Wallpaper*’s Graduate Directory.
Design and product development as Simon Miller expanded from luxury denim into ready-to-wear. The work included accessories, sweater knits, the Bonsai bag and wash development for non-denim pieces, carried from concept into production.
Co-founded with Stevie Dance around a single product idea: the perfect genuine jean. Amelia worked across design, fit, fabric sourcing and near-waterless wash development, with cutting waste donated to Blue Jeans Go Green.
Runway textile and surface development for Calvin Klein 205W39NYC and Narciso Rodriguez. Chemical erosion, pigment work and hand-treated cloth developed in the studio, then translated into ready-to-wear.
Design for graphic skate-streetwear across knits, flannels, shirting and denim: allover logo knits, graphic flannels, photo-print rayon and patch denim developed from concept to finished garment.
