References for the new collection included Eduardo Paolozzi, robotic stuff and what I'm calling art deco on crack - looking at the motifs and geometry within this with a heightened sense of colour and line.
In terms of materials new to this collection — CRYSTALLIZED™ − Swarovski Elements have been fundamental, lots of luxurious leathers, hand enamelled metal, laser cut perspex and a dash of digital print. Key pieces include the Lovejoy jacket-its a bit Poiret and a bit 90s-and the Robot dress. Probably the embodyment of the collection, it is fully made from heat pressed crystal, laser cut perspex and architectural crystallised elements. The silhouette has a focus on short, sharp shapes which retain an easy, simple line to act as foil for surface work or as luxurious pieces in their own right.
