Pattern Hacking

Eve Tokens is a fashion designer and creative pattern cutter originally from Cambridge, UK but currently living in the Netherlands.

Eve studied fashion design as a mature student and went on to have her own London based fashion brand GWEN&SYD, named after her grandparents. Capsule collections were shown at Brighton Fashion Week, and at Studio shows in London's Wimbledon, and Eve enjoyed creating the custom creations she made for clients.With an increased awareness of the exploitation and non-sustainable practices of the fashion industry, in 2016 Eve began teaching people all over the world how to design and make their own sustainable fashion, via her blog The Creative Curator.

While the website has provided a sense of social purpose - many have used the skills learned to start their own small dressmaking and custom design businesses - it is the feedback and results from returning readers who say they have been empowered to make clothing for themselves that is not only creative but also fits their body the way they want it to that makes the work Eve does so very worthwhile.
