I showed a small collection at the Chateau d'Helecine (Belgium) in October 2008. The collection was about wearability, versatility (each piece in the collection can be interchanged with other garments in the collection, or worn with pieces in an existing wardrobe) and craftmanship. I like using "off" colours, with an odd chromatic focus just to add a bit of interest, as can be seen in the combination of a warm fuschia pink and Venetian red. Most of the pieces featured embroidery to add texture. Some of the embroidery was combined with hand painting. The silhoette of each model remained understated, allowing the eye to be drawn to the added surface deatail. My inspiration was mainly the vintage fashions of the twenties and thirties, with a nod to the creations of Poiret and the costumes of the Ballet Russe.
