Q&A With Charlotte Willcox

Hey! Let’s get to know you a little better. Introduce yourself and tell us more about you as an artist.

Hello! My name is Charlotte, I’m an illustrator and designer based in Oxfordshire. I love to create colourful art around feminism, self-love and celebrating our bodies!

 

What was the inspiration behind your collection?

I wanted to create designs that made you laugh a little, something that fills you with joy! Life isn’t always easy, and I wanted to create something that would make someone smile on a bad day.

 

Tell us a bit about how the design process worked?

I spent some time looking at some of my past work to see what I enjoyed drawing, and what other people loved about my work. This included looking at subjects, patterns and colour schemes, based on this I came up with a few different designs and narrowed down my favourites. 

 

I always have a little notebook to quickly sketch ideas down when I think of them, then I usually come back to them to see if they still spark some creativity.

 

If you could describe your collection in 3 words what would they be?

Cheeky, Vibrant and Fun!

 

What’s your favourite design from the collection and why?

Tough one! I think I would have to choose the Vulva Flower, because it's vibrant, and everyone thinks it’s a normal flower until they are up close!

Where do you go when you're looking for inspiration?

Everyday life! I’m inspired by my own experiences, the people around me, and even in nature, I love looking for interesting patterns that look familiar. 


What's been your favourite part of working with us?

The team have been so helpful when bringing my visions to life, they knew exactly what to do to take it that one step further! 


What's on your bucket list?

One day I would love to paint something large-scale like a mural! 


What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?

Surround yourself with people that celebrate your growth! I’m so lucky to have people around me that celebrate everything I do, they make me feel excited to create.
