DESIGN STATEMENT
Jess Maddox’s womenswear collection, “Outflow,” uses a rich palette of denim indigo and vibrant orange, drawing inspiration from the ocean and bringing its essence into the realm of fashion. It captures the fluidity and texture of the sea, reflecting the forms of rocks, waves, and coral. These natural elements are reimagined through innovative textile techniques, including unique silhouettes, intricate beading, heat-set shibori, and diverse fabric manipulations.
