Future Optimism

"We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed"

- The Manifesto of Futurism

Transformers is debuting the Spring/Summer collection, glorifying future optimism for this years FAD competition and my third year portfolio work. The design brief stated the need for a forward looking focus, embracing both the advances and the pressures of modern life. My inspiration comes from The Futurists, last summer's Thomas Heatherwick exhibition and the hit film, The Transformers. It's all about a love of speed and a need for change. We used to be content with loving men with fast cars, now we women want in on the action. We need everything now. We should have been there ten minutes ago. Or we need to be in two places at once. We don't just need one handbag for the day, and lets be honest, it's naive to think even two would suffice. We need to be adaptable, transformable, and beyond all else, damn right HOT! This is a luxury capsule collection of evening wear with a Sports Lux feel combining fun, beauty and practicality.

All the work featured is my own and I welcome any enquires.
