Description
Behind the Seams is the story of Esme Young's life, a true tale of passion and creativity. Born in 1949, Esme spent her childhood largely outdoors, where she discovered her love of sewing at the age of seven. This early passion would shape her future, leading her to Central St Martins in London and setting her on a path of self-discovery and artistic expression. As a teenager, Esme's life truly began, marked by the creative heyday of the 1970s and 1980s. She made the most of this time, watching the Notting Hill Carnival, starting a clothing line, and working with friends to make their mark on the fashion world. This period of her life laid the foundation for her future career, which would take her into the world of film costumes and eventually onto the small screen. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into Esme Young's life, from her childhood to her current role as a judge on The Great British Sewing Bee. With its focus on creativity, self-expression, and the power of passion, Behind the Seams is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the world of fashion and beyond.
