The Art of Women

My designs stem from artistic movements and personas, as I love to shed light on the evocative and subversive messages hidden in the art of women. I incorporate couture techniques into my 3D-driven design process, and love to create on the stand before refining. Lee Miller and Man Ray existed in the late 1920s-1930s Paris, when the surrealist art movement emerged. Focusing on their relationship which evolved from artist and apprentice to artist and muse. Miller sought autonomy liberating woman against the will of her obsessive lover. Elements of drama and passion in my collection are highlight through strong lines and emphasised silhouettes. My collection has a powerful, modern sense of femininity which embraces both the fragility and strength expressed in Ray and Miller’s relationship, alongside the passion that I have for my concept and for the atelier practice.
