Description:

Interior/Exterior
My collection is inspired by elements of interior and exterior design in Modern Architecture along with the influence of the Japanese clothing Kimono.
I designed my garments using shapes in modern architecture including the dome. The resulting sculptural shapes and silhouette forms provides the work with a very minimal and sleek structure. However, as well as using pleating techniques and gathering details to interpret interior designs, such as stairs, corners, floor maps and wood panels, it becomes abstract and more eye catching.

Its inspiring to think that a garment such as, the Kimono, can fit any shape and size, therefore I designed my collection with the practicality of the Kimono’s silhouette in mind where as well as the aspect of flatterring the body, it also fits the body perfectly by using strings and ties.

Trousers made from wool, canvas and neoprene canvas. The garments colours are a combination of two greys and a yellow.
The trousers were made with a pleated technique on the right leg while the left leg is plain inside but it is also covered in grey woolwhile worn with a tie on the side of the waist.
