Deborah Milner
Luxury for the Planet
Backstage at the Natural History Museum…
In 2018, I worked on the Fashion for Conservation runway as part of the Whitley Fund for Nature Hope Gala - a fundraising event bringing together fashion, conservation and Sir David Attenborough as a special guest on stage.
The runway show featured Deborah Milner and Amy Powney for Mother of Pearl, with a backstage team including makeup designer Attracta Courtney and her team, using Weleda skincare.
I supported behind the scenes with styling and coordinating the models before the runway.
What stayed with me from this experience wasn’t just the scale of the event, but how much precision it takes to bring a show like this together - across people, timing and environment.
And how ahead of its time this event was - and that I was part of it.
It’s also a reminder of how much talent exists within sustainable couture that doesn’t always get the visibility it deserves.Deborah Milner’s work is a perfect example of that.
@deborahmilner
Thank you to @ava.j.holmes and the @fashionforconservation team for the opportunity

“I have no regrets. The fact that I did try and make art out of clothing made my life more difficult from a financial perspective but it has also given me infinite possibilities and opened doors in ways I would never have imagined.” — Deborah Milner @deborahmilner
Deborah Milner is an acclaimed couture designer renowned for merging artistic vision with technical mastery, and “London’s best kept secret for extraordinarily beautiful designs and unconventional sculptural shapes” (American ELLE @elleusa).
Her fascination with drawing and painting the human form naturally led her to the forefront of fashion and art, culminating in a tenure consulting and then running the Alexander McQueen Couture Studio (2009 -2015), where she realized some of McQueen’s most iconic and intricate showpieces. @alexandermcqueen
Collaborations with creative luminaries like Isabella Blow @issieblow, Philip Treacy @philiptreacy and Nick Knight @nick_knight underscore her innovative credibility and broad media appeal. Beyond haute couture, Milner has applied her expertise to stage and film costume design, cultivating a style that balances elegance with bold experimentation, always pushing the boundaries of traditional fashion.

2005 ECOTURE WITH AVEDA
When I came back from Brazil I pitched the sustainable couture idea of linking with a company like Avedato friend Peter Gray @petergrayhair and he put us all together
THE BIG KNOT DRESS
The first dress in a collection which explored sustainable possibilities in couture.
Long time collaborator Karen Spurgin @spurgin_textiles joined me as the textile consultant . the first hurdle was of course fabrics - it was difficult to find couture fabric which could be called truly sustainable - we hit upon the idea of focussing our work around natural dyes and Karen found the wonderful @pennywalshdye to work with us on dyeing.
This first fabric was inspired by the waters of the Amazon and uses a shibori technique dyed with indigo and turmeric to bring the fabric to life
This was very apt as my work has always featured knots and now we were using them to create beautiful textiles.

With COP 30 in Brazil, now seems like a good time to repost this story
// @download_repost_pro - In 2003 I changed my life and moved to Brazil.
After a voyage around Peru and Bolivia I settled in São Paulo with the help of wonderful friends first introduced in 2001 by Isabella Blow.
Thankyou to @aroese for 20 wonderful years
To designer @wr_walterrodrigues, @aurea_yamashita who gave me work and support and @carla_assuca @assucal of @swarovski in Brazil who first gave me a home and introduced me to everyone
To @jessiesklair whose red wedding dress made in Brazil you see here and who helped me develop the sustainable couture idea, to @cibele_gardin whose apartmentand creative dreams we shared and @la_buena_juanita for artistic support and common sense advice and last but not least to @rogeriadmporte who first persuaded me to go to Brazil and invited me for New Year 2000!
I am sure there are many more people I need to thank but this experience changed literally everything ♥️

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
