Geometry in Motion

Olivia Warren is a fashion design graduate specialising in womenswear, with a particular interest in creative pattern-cutting, print and textiles. Focusing on fashion for performance, her designs are experimental yet considered, incorporating bold colours, dynamic patterns and luxe fabrications that enhance a sense of movement, fluidity and theatricality. My background in ballet acts as a constant source of inspiration for my designs and world-building. I design garments that interact with the body through innovative design techniques such as subtraction cutting and a deep understanding of movement. I also love incorporating hand-rendered prints into my designs furthering the idea of wearable art. Artists such as Sonia Delaunay and Oscar Schlemmer, from the Bauhaus movement, act as a source of inspiration for my collection in how they intersected shape, colour and movement into fashion and the performing arts.
