Ok so before the degree show, which was in JUNE? (Sorry this is so late people) I started to make a collection of embellished fabrics aimed towards a fashion market. Inspired by the landscape of the Lake District and a mixture of natural imagery, I combine hand and machine stitch to create tactile embellishments. The new embellishment had to have luxurious and expensive quality, therefore I inserted beading, crystals and sequins in darker colours to represent the darker background colours found within the woodlands.
Here are the results of my most successful samples on a larger scale modelled by the lovely Jo Mandel. The photographs were taken by Lorna Berry.
Just wanted to share these B E A U TIFUL piccy's of givenchy fall 2010 couture collection inspired by the human anatomy. As you can see there were lots of lace catsuits encrusted with Swarovski crystals, pearls and more lace. Who knew there was such a beautiful way of representing the the human skeleton, through embroidery.

The work was named “Hidden Treasures” and is display in the Westwood office....named after the talented Vivienne Westwood. It’s intention is to create a tactile and organic contrast against the modern exterior of the office, hopefully transporting the viewer into a world of fantasy, imagination and discovery.
