GRADUATE COLLECTION JAMES TOLHURST-CLOSE
STATEMENT
TEXTURA EXPLORES AND SUBVERTS DIFFERENT MENSWEAR AND HISTORICAL FASHION ARCHETYPES, GENERATING A FRESH CONCEPT OF TRANS-SEASONAL FASHION. THIS COLLECTION INVESTIGATES CONTRASTS OF TEXTURE AND LINE, CREATED WITH SHEER AND OPAQUE FABRICS. INCORPORATING HAND BEADING, THE COLLECTION SHOWCASES PIECES INSPIRED BY COUTURE TECHNIQUES AND BRAVELY CREATES EXTREME SILHOUETTES SUITABLE FOR ANY GENDER.
HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE CRISP, NEUTRAL HUES OF BROWN PAPER, THE COLLECTION’S PALETTE IS BOLDLY FRAMED BY DIFFERENT BLACK TEXTURES. THE PAIRING HAS CREATED SOFTER, NATURAL TONES, THAT ARE JUXTAPOSED AGAINST THE VISUAL AND TACTILE FINISHES OF TEXTURA.
