Sensations – Clarity Fragility, innocence and purity symbolises my A/W15 capsule collection ‘Clarity’. One influence of this collection is the cut out of lace; this collection will feature a lot of cuts and slits into fabrics. The cuts in the fabrics represent the fragility associated to the collection. White, baby powder white and floral white will be the main colours in conjunction with this collection. The poem ‘White’ by Marvel-Maniac defines white as clear and pure which inspired the title of my collection ‘Clarity’. From my stand work (with cuts falling into drapes); I decided to take the fragile cuts of drapes forward for investigation. I looked at Junya Watanabe’s S/S14 collection which ties in really well with my inspiration. I’ve gone on to explore this idea by sampling. I achieved my samples by cutting stripes into the chiffon to create very soft feminine drapes. Also, the drapes have a good connection to my concept from the previous semester (re-re project). The silhouette for this collection will be simple as the details will be the main objective. As the cuts falls into beautiful draping; I will be experimenting with scale and lengths of cuts and drapes. I’m using delicate fabrics like chiffon and organza as part of my fabric choices. I want the delicacy of the fabrics to reflect purity, innocence and fragility. Jersey is also amongst my fabrics; due to the stretch it creates beautiful draping. Feminine, coy and naïve are the qualities of this season’s girl. Fashion concussion, this season’s girl keeps it simple with exaggerated detailing.
