alison hume 101 was set up in 1996. The company is a design partnership founded by Matthew Tennant & Alison Hume. The company's aim was to generate original catwalk prints for high end fashion designers, provide a short run printing service, and generate custom print collections for a variety of fashion clients.

Over time, alison hume 101 has focussed more on producing print collections to satisfy an ever increasing demand for our work. The collection now has a strong fashion direction. Our prints are now largely presented as fully realised garment concepts.

We have always had a strong, technique driven approach to our work. We screeen print with acid dyes, devore and discharge, we also produce pigment and foil prints. For four years we have also produced digital prints in-house which have enabled us to fully exploit the technical possibilities of multi-process printing.

Alison and Matthew still produce the entire print design output of the studio. As the fashion input has increased we now employ a fashion designer and technical staff for pattern cutting and production.
