Cressida Bell is a British designer specialising in textiles and interiors. Cressida set up her company creating hand-printed textiles & accessories in 1984 on leaving the RCA. Her work is known for its uncompromisingly decorative nature and its independence from mainstream fashion. There is an undoubted influence from her well known Bloomsbury Group forebears (Quentin Bell was her father and Vanessa Bell her grandmother); but it is not an all pervading one, and she has forged her own very individual style over the last 25 years.
