Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the designer Pat Albeck.

Born in Hull, Pat went to art school there when she was 16. In 1950, she earned a place at The Royal College of Art to study textile design and moved to London. As Britain emerged from the austerity of the war years, Pat began her career designing bold and exciting fabrics for the fashionable dress design company of the time, Horrocks. In the 60 years that have followed, her designs have graced pottery, paper, furnishing fabrics as well as over 300 tea towels - a record which has brought her the unofficial title 'Queen of the Tea Towel'.



Kirsty Young本周的弃儿是设计师Pat Albeck。

帕特出生在赫尔，16岁时在那里上了艺术学校。1950年，她在皇家艺术学院获得了一个学习纺织品设计的名额，并搬到了伦敦。随着英国从战争年代的紧缩状态中走出来，帕特开始了她的职业生涯，为当时时尚的服装设计公司Horrocks设计大胆和令人兴奋的面料。在随后的60年里，她的设计为陶器、纸张、家具织物以及300多条茶巾增添了光彩--这一记录为她带来了 "茶巾女王 "的非官方称号。
