REFRESHING/MOVEMENT

This title collection is based on fashion and Architecture.
It was inspired by church buildings in Ireland and the Boboli Gardens in Italy.
The collection presents fashionable women’s garments executed in luxury hand-crafted techniques.
In some instances, heritage skills add structure to fabric such as origami creating solid forms out of flat dupion silk. In other instances, the craft techniques achieve the opposite, with a lighter dupion frayed to create an almost fluid effect out of the original fabric.
Other fabrics used include mesh-Lycra, Grosgrain and Crin plain pieced together with stitch and rivets-stud in colours of Black and Gold
