About
About
Gracious Studio was founded by Hannah Cooper to explore inclusive fashion systems design by combining innovative body scanning technology with traditional bespoke tailoring and empathetic design thinking.

Hannah Cooper firmly believes in rethinking value systems, advocating for alternative models that prioritise enduring changes, environmental and human well-being and are grounded in care.

The vision of Gracious Studio is to initiate this transformation by developing solutions that seamlessly integrate into existing fashion systems, enabling companies to embrace gradual yet powerful change, create assistive and accessible technology that addresses the challenges faced by those often overlooked by the fashion industry and reshaping how fashion is consumed by all.
