Below is part of an interview we did with Ellen Hembrow, back in January 2019.

We were intrigued by her bold claims that creativity isn't a necessity when working in fashion.

I'm inquisitive.

I'm interested in how things work.

Everything's made!

*Ellen looks across the room*

I'd wanna take the sewing machine apart and see what was inside it, and how it works together.

You don't necessarily have to be creative [to work in fashion].

There are lots of people who are quite logical with the way that they work.

It doesn't necessarily mean that they're that creative

They still come out with an amazing outcome!
