2nd year collection times

So, this is my collection from second year, based on animal skins and the prints, my main focus always being on the materials i use.

Material depicts the market the clothes are aiming for, no matter how beautifully constructed the garment is, if the feel of the material isn't correct, the garment becomes incorrect, unfinished. I chose to use several different wool mixes as well as leather in subtle places such as the nose on the tiger face or on the face of the elephant on the grey dress.

Each outfit represents an animal, the black and white dress being a panda, the big big circles at the front being eyes. The t.shirt is a very obvious illustration of a tiger which i hand drew and then using the embroidery machine, sewed it onto the t.shirt. The blazer uses snakes skins on the shoulders to replicate the snake itself!!

So, though this is now slightly old i thought i'd share it anyway...
