The Story Behind House Of Wallace - A Tapestry of Dreams, Designs, and Defining Moments

From Sketch to Soul: The Making of House of Wallace

For Steven Mark Hewitt, creativity wasn’t just a pastime—it was a pulse, an inner rhythm that gave shape and meaning to his world. From as early as he can remember, he was drawn to the artistic alchemy that happens when imagination meets form.

His childhood memories are a kaleidoscope of textures and tones—fingertips brushing across raw cotton, eyes mesmerized by the sheen of silks, and long afternoons spent sketching shapes that danced from his mind onto paper. While other children played outside, Steven found magic indoors, knee-deep in fabric scraps, glue sticks, paint, and thread, his mind always reaching for new ways to tell stories without using a single word.

From Sketch to Soul: The Making of House of Wallace But it wasn’t just about how things looked. For Steven, the true enchantment lay in how things felt— both to the touch and to the soul. The comforting weight of a well draped cloth. The whisper of lace against skin. The confidence that radiated when someone wore something that truly expressed who they were. He began to understand that design had the power to move people—not just emotionally, but physically, spiritually.

It wasn’t just a skill; it was a language. This calling led him into the dynamic world of graphic and motion design, where he spent over a decade breathing life into still visuals. There, he explored the intersection of movement, colour, and form— bringing concepts to life through digital landscapes. Yet, even in the glow of screens and the hum of animation software, Steven couldn’t shake a deeper curiosity.

He became fascinated by the way flat design could transform in the physical world—how a pattern could drape, wrap, shift, and come alive on a body. It was this obsession that gently pulled him back to fabric, but now with new eyes: a designer’s eyes. His journey, however, wasn’t a straight line—it was a winding, soulful path shaped by experience, introspection, and human connection. Before launching House Of Wallace, Steven wore many hats. He began as a teacher, guiding young minds to explore their own creativity, witnessing first-hand how self-expression sparked confidence and self-worth. Later, he became a coach, encouraging others to find their voices, their passions, their truths.

These roles helped him discover something profound—that design was never just about aesthetics. It was about identity. About healing. About empowerment. Travel soon became another thread in Steven’s story. He ventured through alleyways of Moroccan souks, into the heart of Indian textile villages, and across the cobblestone streets of Europe’s artisan quarters. In each place, he wasn’t just sightseeing—he was soul-searching.

He stood with master weavers whose families had worked the loom for centuries. He listened to the soft rustle of hand-dyed fabric drying under the sun. He traced the edges of lace that had been handcrafted with age-old techniques. Each material whispered a story. Each pattern held generations of heritage. Steven realized he wasn’t just inspired by these treasures—he was transformed by them. And then, somewhere between continents, conversations, and quiet moments of reflection, a vision crystallized: he didn’t just want to admire beauty—he wanted to create it.

Not just for himself, but for others—for anyone seeking to embody their essence through what they wore. Thus, House Of Wallace was born—not as a brand, but as a heartfelt expression. A homage to global craftsmanship. A celebration of individuality. A bridge between old-world artistry and modern storytelling. Through House Of Wallace, Steven channels everything he’s learned—from the classroom to the design studio, from bustling metropolises to remote villages—into garments that don’t just clothe the body, but honor the soul. Because at its core, House Of Wallace isn’t just about fashion. It’s about wearing your story.

Where He Is Now

Today, House Of Wallace is more than a lingerie label—it’s the soul of Steven Mark Hewitt’s creative journey brought to life. It reflects not only his design philosophy but the countless stories, emotions, and inspirations he’s gathered along the way. It’s where craftsmanship meets vulnerability, and where fabric becomes a vessel for self-expression. For Steven, lingerie was the perfect medium. It’s personal, intimate— the first layer we choose each day, worn in moments when no one else is watching. And it’s in those quiet moments that true confidence is born.

He wanted to create pieces that didn’t just fit the body, but honoured the soul—designs that celebrated presence, not perfection. Each House Of Wallace collection is a love letter—to identity, to heritage, to the quiet strength in softness. His designs are meant to empower, to embrace individuality, and to remind the wearer that beauty lives in authenticity. Where he is now isn’t just a destination—it’s a devotion. A devotion to artistry, emotion, and creating garments that help people feel seen, celebrated, and at home in their own skin.
