This was my 2021 womenswear collection. My womenswear collection is centred in a humanist understanding of the woman. The garments follow a very fitted silhouette that is all about displaying and highlighting the body beneath the clothes. This comes from the belief that the human body is already the most beautiful thing, and clothes should reflect the shape and movement of the wearer. The textiles all centre around smocking, an ancient technique that uses a hand-cranked machine and is hand-sewn on, which gives power and beauty to human-centric making.
All fabrics are natural fibres with a strong showing of silk, and cotton. The fabrics all have varying weights and feels, with smocking embellishments providing a variety of textures to engage tactile senses. There is a minimisation of fusing, and trims so that they can be more simply and easily recycled post life. It is an all-black collection with the different fabric choices giving variation to the silhouette.It consists of a black silk organza dress with hand-sewn pleated details; a smocked hand-dyed dress, black silk blazer with hand-sewn pleated detail w/ hand dyed shirt and black silk skirt.
