A COLLECTION INSPIRED BY COMBINING THE BEAUTY OF COUTURE GOWNS WITH THE IDEA OF BUSINESS IN THE FRONT, PARTY IN THE BACK. FOCUSED ON MAKING EVERY BODY LOOK AND FEEL BEAUTIFUL BUT STILL REMAINING CAMP AND FUN IN THE PROCESS. THE SURPRISE ELEMENT OF NUDITY AND OVERSIZED BOWS WERE AN IMPORTANT FEATURE IN PLAYING WITH THE NOTION OF “ACCEPTABLE FORMALWEAR”.
THIS COLLECTION HAS BEEN HANDMADE IN LONDON, FROM A SELECTION OF UP-CYCLED UPHOLSTERY FROM MY PARENTS & GRANDPARENTS HOUSES, END OF ROLL SILKS, CHIFFONS AND TAFFETAS, AND FABRICS HANDED DOWN FROM INTERNSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. EACH PIECE HAS BEEN CAREFULLY PATTERN CUT TO ENSURE MINIMAL WASTE. THE PEICES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ARE LISTED BELOW, SOME PIECES ARE NOT POSSIBLE TO RECREATE DUE TO THE ORIGIN OF FABRIC USED.
