Curvature Allure
PRESS RELEASE
Chloe Rees’ Autumn Winter 2013 collection Curvature Allure is based around the ability of creating a curve which deviates from a straight line. Looking at the ever extending lines that go beyond the original shape, continuing to draw the eye in and around its creations literally and figuratively. Interlocking with itself to create the illusion of individual components from continual pieces that are formed from developable surfaces without distortion. Expressed through the silhouettes are contrasts and combinations between soft organic shapes and hard industrial shapes that work in harmony together. The simple silhouettes and minimal colour palette are enlivened with manipulated fabrics to produce sculptural surface textures, shaped with slashing and twisting.
