My Green Lipstick

Peter Twiss is a Brighton based designer who spent much of his childhood in Assam, North East India.

Peter draws on inspirations from his childhood roots which are reflected in his collections and provides him with his unique signature style.

Having had tailored clothing made for him as a child in India, Peter decided that the fashion industry was his true calling. He has studied at Central St Martins and the Surrey Institute of Art and Design and gained work experience with Betty Jackson and Sarah Arnett and as a freelance designer for various London Boutiques before setting up his own label.

Peter’s love of his homeland in North East India is clear, not only through the influence it has on his designs but also though his charity work. He has helped raise fund to improve education and medical facilities along with bringing water and electricity supplied to a small rural village in Nagaland. He returns to Nagaland each year where he has a studio and manufacturing base paying a fare wage but also creating work that unfortunately is hardly existent in the private sector in Nagaland. All garments are made there work no more than a 7 hour day!

Peter explains how his homeland inspires his collection “I find it so much easier to be creative and realise silhouette’s when I get out of the zone of the developed world and closer to nature.”
