Louis Loizou

Biography

Louis Loizou began his career in the technical aspects of design, originally in jewellery making and later as a toilist/patternmaker. After a wide-ranging career as a senior toilist/patternmaker in design, he re-focused his career in education, undertaking a number of teaching qualifications. Louis began his educational career on the post-graduate MA Fashion and is now a Senior Lecturer on the BA Fashion course at Central Saint Martins. Inspired by good design in all its forms and manifestations, he is particularly interested in the two-way dialogue, between designer and maker, the ‘conversation’ between concept and realisation using technical and craft skills and the contribution that the latter make to the design process and the quality and desirability of the designed object.
