Alice V Robinson is a co-founder of British Pasture Leather and the author of Field, Fork, Fashion, a book that chronicles the making of her 2019 design collection “Bullock 374”. Her work explores the relationship between food and fashion by connecting farming to product design, while revealing the story behind leather material. Alice graduated from the RCA in 2018, her work has since been shown at the London Design Festival, Victoria and Albert Museum, and MAD Brussels; her MA collection ‘11458’ was acquired by the V&A in 2020.

Alice co-founded British Pasture Leather in 2020 with collaborator Sara Grady, to create the first supply of leather made from animals raised on regenerative farms in the UK. Inspired by a belief that regenerative agricultural practices are a crucial solution in renewing soils, stewarding land and reforming food and fashion systems, British Pasture Leather links leather with exemplary agriculture and forges new connections between farming, food and material culture. In 2023, Grady + Robinson were named Sustainability Thought Leaders by Vogue Business 100 Innovators List, and won the Climate+ Award from the Textile Exchange. Alice is a Freeman of the Leathersellers’ Company and a 2026 Nuffield Farming Scholar.
