“Earley has brought passion and dynamism to the Crafts Council, raising a flag for craft and design examined in a profound way.”

Suzy Menkes, International Herald Tribune
“…some of the most incredible suits of the London collections….”

Harriet Quick, Fashion Weekly
"Earley, the powerhouse behind the TED Resource, has been influencial in arming the design students of today who will be the fashion leaders of tomorrow..."

Matilda Lee, Ecologist Magazine
“Earley, whizz kid of trompe l’oeil printing techniques and a designer rapidly building up a reputation among London’s club kids….”

Harriet Quick, The Guardian
“Jones snapped up her entire collection, while she turned down a placement in Karl Largerfield’s studio and became instead one of the new generation of British designers...”

Emma O’Kelly, Design Week Magazine
“As a fashion and textiles graduate from Central St Martins in London in 1996, Rebecca’s work received instant acclaim. It was a hectic and exciting time..."

Gardens Illustrated
“Earley’s treatment gowns were especially enlightened... designed to improve morale by providing individually patterned gowns..."

Geraldine Rudge, Crafts Magazine
“Britain’s Rebecca Earley is changing the face of fashion and gives print fashion new meaning!”

Mary Cooney, G-Spot Magazine
“Her work also has a critical edge, enough to already win it a place behind museum cases at the V&A... awarded a prize at this year’s Peugeot Design Awards.”

The Guardian
“Her collections are as strong in silhouette and fashion content as they are in their fabrication.”

Mary Cooney, G-Spot Magazine
“Earley shows textiles which are beautiful as well as provocative, particularly the patterns made by ‘heat photogram’ from natural plant forms...”

Alan Powers, Nature in Design
“Earley can turn a second hand, meringue-like wedding dress into smart cocktail wear and a range of lush scarves... at the cutting edge of fashion.”

Fashion Statements Magazine
"Her fabrics are not only luxurious, original and desirable but are made from almost entirely recycled or found materials.”

The Sunday Times
“She experiments with the latest microfibre fabrics combined with revolutionary methods of printing and newly developed inks including retroflective ink.”

Marie O’Mahony, Techno Textiles
“Earley’s clever technique... witty and surreal photograms are produced imprinting such seemingly improbable objects as wire fencing and scattered dressmaking pins onto microfibre fabrics."

Barbara Jones, International Textiles Magazine
“Like Alexander McQueen, Sonja Nuttal, Fabio Piras, Hussein Chalayan and Geeta Patel, Earley came off the Central Saint Martins fashion-star production line.”

Time Out Magazine
“Earley’s printed fabrics are chic, unmistakable and utterly modern, and are keenly acquired by such celebs as Bjork and Zoe Ball.”

Time Out Magazine
“Earley’s chic, utterly modern printed fabrics are acquired by such celebs as Cher and Demi Moore."

Time Out Magazine
“Earley exhibits her much copied “heat photogram” work in an art show and prefers to concentrate on capsule collections for her B. Earley label, rather than adhering to seasonal trends.”

The Guardian
“Earley’s catwalk show at the London Fashion Week tent caused a storm amongst press and buyers.”

Dazed & Confused
“Earley’s collections demonstrate how the designer can work fluently with digital technology and handcrafted techniques.”

Melanie Bowles, Digital Textile Design
“Earley is more interested in context and concept than product or process, using technology for motivation and inspiration, over and above material techniques.”

Paul Greenhalgh, The Persistence of Craft
"This humanism, a temporal spirituality perhaps... evident in Rebecca Earley's work, but attached to a dynamic and ironical attitude to living... (she) believes fabric and clothing should reflect her kind of life."

Martina Margetts, No Picnic, Crafts Council
"Earley was responsible for the innovative and groundbreaking print designs that earned rave reviews at London Fashion Week."

Barbara Jones, International Textiles
"Avant-garde fabrics and print research..."

Colleziono Bis, Italy
"Still only 25, textile designer Rebecca Earley has had praise heaped on her from all quarters for her eye for vivid colour and startling imagery."

Tim Marsh, Evening Standard
"... creativity is reassuringly bubbling away under the more traditional face of fashion."

Mimi Spencer, Evening Standard
"... focus on modernity, quality and detail..."

Andrew Tucker, Drapers
"Having graduated from Central Saint Martins with a distinction, Earley's catwalk show at the London Fashion Week tent caused a storm amongst press and buyers."

Katie Grand, Dazed & Confused
