ITTY BITTY HEART The diffusion collection ‘Itty Bitty Heart’ for H&M Divided follows the FU collection’s theme and inspirations, however is designed to be less daring and more suitable for a slightly younger market level; creating a youthful, fun feel appropriate for more mainstream fashion. The collection is aimed at late teen boys and girls aged between 15 and 20. Influenced by the WGSN Earthed trend for A/W 17, the collection features warm colours such as burnt orange, nudes, reds and metallics. Diffused down from the mid level FU collection, Itty Bitty Heart is made up of cosy and tactile fabrics: soft fleece and sweatshirts for warmer garments, as well as satin, jersey and velvet. The theme of broken relationships is reflected through the artistic print designs on the fleece and jersey fabrics, as well as through the slogan prints used on the sweatshirt and jersey fabrics, taking inspiration from text messages as a note back to the main collection, FU.

LAh-Ah Pillow to pillow Chair to chair Through the house Up the stairs Mind your step Watch your toes Ah! There it is, there it flows The floor is lava
LAh-Ah LAh-Ah is aimed at 5 to 12 year old girls for the season of A/W 17; taking inspiration from the Earthed childrenswear trend and the idea of an erupting volcano in the living room. The collection follows a narrative of childhood imagination and play, taking one through the journey of the commonly played make-believe game of the household floors turning into lava. The fun and creative world of a child’s mind is a never-ending canvas of inspiration; in this case sourced from personal memories from childhood and from those of my eight-year-old sister. Solidified a’a lava (Ah-Ah) inspires both dark greys throughout the colour palette, as well as the name of the collection, LAh-Ah. A rich flowing palette of fiery reds and comforting pinks mixes with the greys, building a vibrant and adventurous theme for little girls clothing. Providing an alternative to the cliché ‘girly’ prints, the collection gives little girls the opportunity to mix and match a range of fun prints and colours – straight from the imagination.

S/S 17
POISON The sportswear collection ‘Poison’ for Adidas is aimed at female ballet dancers, aged between 18 and 30. The narrative of the collection follows the idea of forbidden love explored through the symbolism of Eve’s apple in the biblical story and poisonous and intoxicating, yet beautiful flowers. The collection takes inspirations from the WGSN Pause trend for S/S 17, featuring soft nudes, pinks and reds throughout the palette, deepened by darker greys and flashes of jet-black. The sportswear design details and silhouettes are also inspired by this trend through key aspects such as layering for ease of temperature control and muscle support. The poisonous moonflowers were a key inspiration for the flowing skirts as they open and close, similar to the motion desired from the chiffon skirt designs when the wearer is dancing. In order to achieve a stylised aesthetic the fabric palette combines sporty fabrics with fashion fabrics. The theme of the collection is portrayed graphically through the print, focusing on the poisonous flowers researched and the apple cells, in the form of artworks.

JESSICA RANALDI A/W 18
FORETELL The collection for Dover Street Market, Foretell, focuses on unisex clothing for consumers with a high-fashion, dark and confident style. Foretell is inspired by the beauty and traditions of Roma Gypsies, in particular their practice of fortune telling through the use of palms, tarot cards and crystal balls. This is of personal interest for me. I find the mystery of how one can make a spiritual connection through palmistry comforting, moving and inspiring. The collection takes colour and texture inspiration from the WGSN Nocturne trend for A/W 18. The colour scheme is dark, glitzy and mysterious; suiting both Dover Street and my personal design aesthetic. The fabrics include luxurious faux fur, faux suede, and leatherettes adorned with jewellery, as well as rich navy velvet, foiled sweatshirt and jersey and a metallic finished woven. The garments feature exaggerated silhouettes and boxy shapes that can be adjusted to fit either a male or a female form.
