Images of Work
"The most striking feature is the deliberate tearing or cutting of the outer white layer, revealing an underlayer with a vibrant and intricate pattern. This inner fabric is a striking orange with a detailed floral design, flowers rendered in a bright, warm orange, outlined with a slightly darker shade, set against a white background with hints of yellow and gold undertones from the print technique and the base fabric colour. The floral pattern is a dense, stylised representation of blossoms and foliage. Adding further texture and visual interest to the inner fabric are visible embroidery or raised stitching in a thick, yellowish-brown yarn. These stitches follow the lines of the floral pattern, highlighting elements and adding a dimensional quality. The overall aesthetic is avant-garde and artistic, playing with contrasting textures, patterns and the concept of revealing hidden layers. The graphic black-and-white prints combined with the vivid orange floral pattern create a bold, eye-catching contrast; the deconstructed aspect suggests a modern, experimental approach to fashion design."
"The textile item is a white linen jacket. It has a notched collar and a relaxed fit. The most prominent design element is a bold black graphic print scattered across the fabric, various abstract shapes and botanical-inspired motifs including leaves, seed pods and possibly flowers. The printing technique is a form of block printing, giving the images a slightly rough, handcrafted texture. The overall aesthetic is artistic and somewhat avant-garde, leaning towards a minimalist yet statement-making style."
