In this episode of Textural Anthologies, we travel back to the UK to meet an extraordinary guest who defines herself as a Polymath. Juliana Sissons is a creative force who blurs, pushes, and explores the boundaries of garment construction. She seamlessly crosses over from pattern cutting and traditional Savile Row tailoring to innovative knitting techniques. Her work even extends to collaborating with surgeons on surgical pattern cutting, all while creating groundbreaking volumes and silhouettes. Her career is as diverse as it is fascinating, from the vibrant London 80s Blitz scene—where she ran a pop-up shop inside the iconic Heaven club—to designing costumes for BBC’s Top of the Pops dancers. Juliana has also held a residency at the Victoria & Albert Museum, where she developed knitwear inspired by 16th-century armour, and she’s currently working on an exciting new book. Oh, and did we mention Britney Spears? Join us as we delve into the mind of Juliana Sissons, a true renaissance woman, to explore her journey, her innovations, and the many ways she continues to redefine fashion and design.
