Sam D'Cruze is a textile artist and designer who, after graduating from Central St Martins with a BA(Hons) in womenswear, has worked in the creative industry for over twenty years.

A passionate creative who has worked with established brands and designers, she launched Darkest Star, an edgy design house dedicated to slow fashion, 10 years ago. The ever-evolving label regularly appeared in the pages of Schön, Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Elle and dressing the likes of Gigi & Bella Hadid, Camila Cabello and Mary J Blige.

Due to her father's death, who sadly struggled with alcoholism, Sam has launched an art project called 'Child Of', aimed at breaking the cycle of addiction in a creative and contemporary way through storytelling.

Creating artworks that explore the shared experience of adults touched by addiction, some pieces are hard-hitting and poignant, whilst others have an element of fun celebrating life and resilience. Sam's practice is centred around Tambour beading and 'freestyle, punk embroidery'. Her double-sided embroideries are both unique and thought-provoking, playing with shadows and reflection.
