I am a multi-media designer with a passion for textiles and creating, I am inspired by art and love using bold colour in my work.
Final Project
Avoriaz in Abstract
This project explores the relationships between art, architecture and fashion through a gender neutral collection of adaptable textiles pieces. Clothing able to be enjoyed on and off the body, inspired by current concepts blurring the lines between work and home/public and private clothing.
Primary Photography
I drew visual inspiration from the unique architecture of the French ski town Avoriaz and modern art.
Collage
Initial collage from found materials.
Sublimation Print
I used hand painted sublimation transfer to explore colours and shapes.
Quilted Poncho
Drawings and collages were translated into the processes of quilting, sublimation printing, fabric manipulation and jacquard to explore forms on the body.
Scarf and Bag
Made using fabric manipulation techniques, to create padded 3D shapes. Colour is at the forefront of this collection, learning from art and incorporating this into my design outcomes.
Geometric Patchwork Quilt
Avoriaz itself is an adaptable town, able to seamlessly transition between winter and summer seasons. My concept of adaptable clothing suits this environment well, the pieces can be worn as fashion garments in the winter to keep warm and still be enjoyed in the home when summer comes.
Sublimation Print on Jacquard
Woven with a mix of Polyester and viscose threads to create different colour effects from the sublimation paper colour transfer.
Jacquard
Three weft double cloth jacquard designs inspired by abstract drawings of Avoriaz.
Digital Prints
Geometric repeat print fabric samples, made using photoshop.
