About

British Fashion & Textile Designer

Statuesque explores the idea of individual expression and perspective, with the stark contrast between strong architecture, paired with the romantic and emotional influence of art. The collection sees structured, masculine shapes derived from architecture, balanced with luxurious, soft, and feminine fabrics that emulate elements of different art movements throughout history, contrasted further with the sleek and strong lines of automotives. The low tone colour palette of black, navy, and dark teal with a shock of acid yellow and hints of silver creates a moody aesthetic. The choice of fabrics enhances the richness and attitude for a modern interpretation of art vs. architecture vs. automotives.

Inspired by Formula 1, with influences from architecture and art, Pole Position consists of a strapless jumpsuit, fitted and boned at the bodice before flaring to dramatic wide leg trousers. The undulating texture represents the movement of the checkered flag, created through cording techniques, emphasised with alternating cutouts that flow seamlessly throughout the design.
