At seven, when it was discovered she was partially deaf, she found refuge in her sketchbooks. Shortly after, Esme made her first garment and a passion for sewing and designing was born. As a teenager, she made her way to London where her creative journey truly began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiving in a squat with other young creatives, Esme made the most of her time; studying at Central Saint Martins, launching a clothing line called Swanky Modes with three friends and GBP50 each, watching Notting Hill Carnival with David Bowie, and altering a dress for Cher. The '90s saw a career move into costumes for films, where she designed outfits for \u003ci\u003eTrainspotting\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBridget Jones's Diary\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Beach\u003c\/i\u003e, before she moved onto the small screen herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA celebration of a creative life lived differently, \u003ci\u003eBehind the Seams\u003c\/i\u003e is a reminder that it's never too early, or too late to pick up a needle and start stitching in a new direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 288 pages | Published March 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63997403136349,"sku":"9781788704656","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/behind-the-seams-the-perfect-gift-for-fans-of-the-great-british-sewing-bee","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
