The atelier is a humble space despite its grandiose output — the pride is within the expert craftsmanship. Coming from a line of tailors and seamstresses, I find the simple act of constructing in all of its intricate detailed glory the tipping point of my work. When it came to the creation of this work, this action become the conceptual underpinning — an ode to. Luscious fabrics, remnants of aphrodisiacs and subtle references to the act of love (bridal which couture runways always finish with) are all deconstructed in their presentation to showcase a cyclical love affair with the act of making. In terms of continual practice, fashion and art operate on very separate languages but my intention is to celebrate both subjects in unison with the most attentive and romantic sensitivities.
