The two main sources of inspiration for the collection are Dalian landscapes and Clowns. The sense of disconnected reality comes from Dali paintings but translated into garments so the surreal becomes wearable. The vibrant colours he painted enhance the dream like qualities therefore we get a sense of hallucination. This correlates to the image of the clown. The collection is a feminine reworking of the clown shirt- especially the silhouette and shape of the collar. Heavy pleats are balanced and softened by coloured bands of fur and organza. Different animal types are used to give a variety of lengths and therefore creating a very tactile and visually appealing detail to the clothes. The whole collection is more geared towards ready to wear.
