Sophie Tatlow is a textile designer, but as Director of Utopia Goods, she extends what textile design can be, and is taking Australian narratives international. For more than two decades she has collaborated with Bruce Slorach in the multidisciplinary studio Deuce Design – under which Utopia Goods has been celebrating textile design for 12 years.
ArtsHub caught up with Tatlow to learn how she got her start, and what is shaping the textile design sector today.
