JUICING THE CREATIVE ORANGE

Surprisingly I try to avoid fashion magazines. Don't get me wrong...put a Grazia under my nose and you have lost me for hours...but I don't troll the glossy pages for inspiration for my collections. Any object, vision or feeling can cause a spark of creativity.

For my AW 2011 collection it started on a trip in Ireland. The inspiration was simple - a colour palette - but before i knew it I had travelled through 18th C France, Marie Antoinette's tragic life, the rise of the "damage heroine" in modern filmography, concepts of "love lost" and the beautiful art of Shibari.

   

   

 

That should get your tastebuds tingling!
