swim wear Tattooed Garden

Brief: “Tattooed Garden�, design a small range of dynamic swimwear pieces including cover ups. Prints are to be inspired by traditional florals and tribal tattoos. Our focus - Aztec and Hawaiian tribal tattoos juxtaposed against hand drawn traditional flower blossoms in high colour. With Jess Gibson and Leroy Nguyen, together we designed dynamic swimwear pieces taking the humble bikini to new levels. Incorporating neoprene as well as digital prints of our hand painted florals and tattoos, layering swimwear separates as well as beautiful flowing organza pieces. The range encapsulates young/sporty/ sophisticated style.


tailoring Ball and Glove

Brief: Taking inspiration from a functional leather object with stitching, adapt and recreate for a tailored look with an emphasis on contrast stitching, add an adapted leather piece to complement the outfit. “Ball and Glove� is a look taking inspiration from a baseball glove. The tailored jacket features a folded collar with gathered sleeve details which continue on the back. Seams are finished off with contrasting stitching details echoing the glove. The curved shapes continue in the blouse with overlayed chiffon; gathered and finished with leather piping. A leather hand warmer accessory completes the look with stitching, studs and a shearling lining.


cocktail Cultural Adornment

Brief: Create a cocktail look by combining the raw and earthy qualities of Africa against the luxurious lifestyle of Russian royalty. The shoulder piece resembles the Zulu warrior chief’s tribal attire. The leather is hand tooled with various patterns mimicking traditional tattoo scarification.


The dress features a juxtaposition of fabrics - jute, leather, red velvet and hand beaded lace - demonstrating the contrasting lifestyles of the African people and Russian royalty. Gold embellished lace makes a reference to the Russian royal’s penchant for brocade and lace dresses. The interior of St Petersburg Palace’s decadent gold columns inspired the gold tubing panel on the dress.

from functional to wearable

Story I - Leather Gloves

Looking at a range of leather baseball gloves, the shapes and details have been reimagined into tailored pieces for this story. The arc shapes are exaggerated using gathering and leather piping. Strap details are also featured. The earthy colour palette also mimics the leather tones. There is a strong focus on wool fabrics in this story including merino wool jersey in the dress, wool gaberdine and crepe as well as contrasting fabrics; leather and cotton voile.


from functional to wearable

Story II - Functional Art

Contemporary art with a sartorial twist is epitomised in the FF1; a minimalistic self supporting chair made from a single piece of twisted felt. This inspired a cleaner look for this story - less seam details in the pant suit and tucks and draping in the dresses. The mood of this story is inspired by the photography of Kim Høltermand and his foggy, wintery subjects. A muted border print is a subtle addition to the hemline of the dress and is also featured on the silk blouse in gradated colours.


from functional to wearable

Story III - Vintage vs. Modern

Deconstructed traditional suiting makes way for manipulated collars and asymmetrical draping in this last story. Turning upside-down and elongating collars and lapels, as well as playing with scale and proportion influenced the structural details. The vintage palette of browns and greys are accented by burnt orange.
