LONDON FASHION WEEK COLLABORATION
My latest collaboration with London’s up and coming sustainable initiative sees luxury items as the blank canvas and artists from all over the world doing their magic on them. Seeing my work on three pairs of designer shoes coming down the runway was mind blowing. This is an incredible opportunity to take my work to the next level!!
“A natural progression sees Wendy taking her work onto recycled fashion items themselves using clothing as the canvas but this time not just for visual pleasure but as an expressive apparel.”
Wendy Says…“My work should be worn as well as hung, to me it’s all part of the
journey.”

Virgin Hotels has opened its latest outpost in Edinburgh in a soft launch for hotel guests this summer. The property opened to the general public from the 14th of June, with phase two and the official grand opening scheduled for autumn.
The walls and ceilings throughout the restaurant were illuminated with standout works, including ‘Virgin Lips’; a custom commission by Edinburgh-based artist Wendy Helliwell which incorporated a full pair of old jeans, ‘747 Fuselage Wall Art’ giving a playful nod to Virgin Atlantic, and ‘Queen of Dreams’ by Alan Macdonald inspired by Mary Queen of Scots.
