REBECCA AYDON

REBECCA HOLMES
Combining inspiration from the Stockholm Royal Palace with design influence of the 1920s and 1930’s Rebecca re-created the abundance of a time past, in a knitwear collection titled ‘The Age of Parade’.
The overly ornate and magnificent state rooms of the palace oozed luxe and excess; colour coordinated interiors in regal colours and hanging with tapestries are edged in an overabundance of gold. Drawing influence from silhouettes from the art deco era she challenged herself in re-creating these ideas in knitwear, imitating fabrication within knit and pattern cutting to work as fully fashioned knitted garments.

ROSE SPARKS
I am constantly questioning myself as to how I can create sculptural fantasies. For me designing is all about having the emotional connection, to dream and to escape from reality. My imagination allows me to transcend from the mundane into something that is exciting and innovative. There are elements of haute couture that I feel particularly drawn to such as the sense of freedom and individuality. By taking the time to focus and tailor the look I am trying to achieve one to one with the garment myself.

ROSIE D'ERCOLE
Inspired by the form and structure of the human anatomy - Rosie D’Ercole’s SS20 collection (Therion) explores silhouette through a creative use of pattern cutting. It is clear that lingerie played a large part in inspiring her construction techniques, with the use of multiple underbodies to build and alter the silhouette.
The contradiction of mixing dark subject matter with wearable silhouette and print has always been appealing to Rosie. A key research image was Joel Peter-Witkin’s ‘Woman Once a Bird’, finding the crossover between human and animal intriguing.

RUTH WILLIAMS

Fabrics are dyed, embroidered, and manipulated by hand - working in unpredictable ways leads to bespoke outcomes which cannot be recreated. This uniqueness leads to an emotional connection for the designer, and for the viewer and lastly the owner.
