Eirinn Hayhow is a bio-couture artist, designer and educator based in Kent, whose practice explores living materials, botanical pigments and the relationship between humans and the natural world through ritual and ecological storytelling.
Working with foraged plants, botanical pigments, seaweed biomaterials and naturally dyed textiles, Eirinn creates garments and sculptural objects that invite a slower, more reciprocal relationship with nature. Rooted in material innovation, folklore and environmental care, her work explores clothing as a vessel for memory, healing and connection, revealing the hidden beauty and intelligence of the natural world.
Alongside her artistic practice, Eirinn has lectured in fashion and textiles for over six years, encouraging students and communities to reconnect with nature through making, experimentation and sustainable material practices. Her work has been presented at London Fashion Week, Future Fabrics Expo and Material World at Kew Gardens, and is stocked internationally in Japan and Taiwan.
From her studio at The Margate School of Art, Eirinn continues to develop experimental biomaterials, botanical pigments and natural dye processes, creating collections that celebrate the quiet beauty, resilience and interconnectedness of the living world.
