concept

Aiming for a exact fusion of traditional and modern to create a futuristic elegance. In this collection traditional couture techniques were applied to unexpected materials such as recycled silicone tubes, moulded sculptural perspex, nylon horsehair and heat-shrinking rubber tubings achieving futuristic-looking textiles and silhouettes. With a background in finance dealing with data and mathematical models before turning to fashion design. These meticulous constructions and textiles are a true exercise in precision which evoke technophilia.
