"Throughout the decades Catherine has displayed a remarkable talent for reinvention. Perhaps her greatest triumph to date was taking 19th century manufacturers samplers, rescued from an abandoned factory and transforming them into unique patchwork creations, very much the talk of the fashion world at the time. From simple beginnings in 1963 Catherine came to be recognised as one of the world's most distinctive, influential and unconventional designers in the Great British tradition."
