Textile arts and fashion have inspired me to explore the possibilities of materials. Fabric can not only shelter in the form of blankets and clothing it can become architectural. Inspired by Valentino’s line of handbags on which flowers and bows and patterns emerge 3D from the bag itself I set off to experiment with 3D decorations on clothing, in particular on a dress. I want to show that fashion is most definitely a form of art. The intricacies and aesthetics of layers of fabric, which create forms are highly stimulating visually as well as physically. I want to create a dress that is the contemporary application of the victorian era structural textiles, or Marie Antoinette's decorative clothing.
