Charlotte Linton [1]
Charlotte Linton is a London-based designer and illustrator. Born in Rochford, Essex, in the UK, she studied Fashion Print at Central Saint Martins in London and was awarded a Masters in Printed Textiles from The Royal College of Art, London. In 2009, she launched the Charlotte Linton scarf label and has produced seasonal collections that draw inspiration from different global locations.
Charlotte Linton.
Linton's work has developed around the aesthetic and material potential of digitally printed textiles. She considers how such a medium can function as a carrier of content related to the roots of culture in geographically specific traditions, and in people's relationships to the flora and fauna that surround them. Each scarf has a strong visual identity that is largely illustrative, colorful and suggestive of an on-going narrative. They are designed using a combination of hand-drawn and painted illustrations, and feature digital media techniques.
A Charlotte Linton scarf.
As a child, Linton had a keen interest in archaeology, ethnography, and zoology. She created her fictional muse, Ermantrude, to collect research and take field notes on her travels across continents. Her Ermantrude's Travels documents these zoological expeditions with imagery that often finds its way back into her scarf designs.
Some motifs that feature on her scarf designs.

Since graduating, Linton has been a semi-finalist with Fashion Fringe, London, and has worked with designers such as Paul Smith, Hussein Chalayan and Chloe. Alongside her scarf collections, she has produced a number of seasonal clothing and accessories for US retailer Anthropologie, under the label Zoologist by Charlotte Linto. Her work has been featured in such publications as L'Officiel (Paris), The Times, Design Bureau, Arise magazine - just to name a few! Her work has appeared on websites such as vogue.com, refinery29.com, dailycandy.com and coolhunting.com.
