FLIK HALL

Flik Hall moved to London following her school years and moved into Hackney soon after. She enrolled at Central Saint Martins where she pursued her options, and quickly developed her curiosity for fashion design. Flik Hall discovered and developed a love for print design in particular. She then left college to take placements with various designers such as House of Holland and Giles Deacon, where she engaged in all areas of the design studio. During her time there, she began setting up her own label. She launched her first season SS10 “Scope of Time” soon afterwards. Flik Hall’s work is brightly hued where the garments' movement and print takes centre stage. Employing a wide range of prints, nothing is quite what it seems in Flik's work where contrast is key. Imagine driving weights, hanging from cords or chains, suspended above you, Flik Hall's first collection was inspired by the resounding chime of her father’s fixation with timekeeping. Growing up in a house amongst so many clocks, it would appear the abstract concept of time could hardly be missed. Think of thick colours of different tints, which would melt with fire, and yet retain their lustre. Bright blue, peach and iridescent greens, like the rust gathering on metal over time. The prints are inspired by the beautiful engraved plates on clocks. In contrast to this almost archaic print, apparently weighty pendulums in all different sizes move with the garments in a playful way.
