Tension Overload

The body is where the collection starts... mechanics of femininity contrast with mechanics of clothing and their bodily relationships. Conflict occurs between body and cloth, contrast of textures... softness and femininity cry out from hard metals, structural shapes and splashes of colour. Tensions lie within expression and form, moving closer together... They can see beyond their superficial mammal substances toward a calmer place where emotions and desire become available should they choose.

Fabrics used: Leatherette, quilted and PVC combined with contrasted fabrics and textures such as feathers and bronze metallics.

Oversized detachable hoods, pockets and bags as accessories can be seen hidden within the garments whilst nuts, washers, zips and press-studs are used as embellishments. The garments fuse together mechanical structuring with soft feminine textures.
