EXPEDITION INTO OWL Colour story one

Blurred and unidentified, these colours are a product of imagination and not a little dreaming. Neutral and softly natural with a hint of cool. Even if the shade has cool overtones the touch is soft. We have the idea of nesting in a feather light cocoon. Grey and lavender are the prime influences in this essentially natural palette. It is sophisticated and chic but also with a new style edge. These are creative naturals.

DISTORTION OF LIGHT Digital draping


DISTORTION OF LIGHT Digital draping

Digital draping is a new form of pattern cutting and body draping that uses light and projections to determine cut, texture, pattern, integration and future silhouette. This process was developed by Nancy Tilbury, Clive van Heerden and their colleagues during the wearable technologies projects at Philips Design in the late 1990s. By using a full-size or handheld projector, the designer places graphical or textural elements (of their choice) onto the body of a fit model, dancer or stand to develop dynamic shape and form.

REVEAL CONCEAL Collection 2011

Reveal conceal is the concept behind my final master’s collection, which was born through examining the importance of the human silhouette. Exploration of shape in context to the body in contemporary times has always played a strong role in my work. I wanted to strip back and refine my designs to their simplest and most powerful visual forms. By using luxury fabrics versus sportswear materials I aim to push forward the boundaries of fashion creation. I question how we can contemporize un-conventional materials into traditional design-led methods. My exploration of materiality leads to the use of acrylic in the collection, this becoming a key element applied to create blocking, concealing and highlighting areas of the body.
