Noël Gilford was educated in Darlington and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1910 to 1915. At the Slade she trained as a dress designer; one of her garments is featured in the portrait of cellist Guilhermina Suggia by the Welsh painter Augustus John. She met textile designer Phyllis Barron at The Slade and used her hand-blockprinted fabric for her dress making.
