My collection of garment panels is for an Autumn/Winter season.

My inspiration has come from car engines, bicycles and motorbike engine diagrams. I selected areas and small parts of the diagrams and designed my own patterns using Photoshop, which I sublimated onto fabric.

The fabric was partly soldered open, to create intricate patterns and bold shapes and threaded with contrasting ribbons to adorn the garment panels.

I also sourced metal washers that relate to my engines. These have inspired me to create wire and washer clusters to appliqué onto the garment panel necklines and body, creating a sophisticated yet chic look.

I have chosen fine taffeta and synthetic satins in silver-grey and midnight-blue and used the same colours in double satin and grosgrain ribbon.

The garment panels are unique, detailed and intricate, requiring concentrated hand cutting and hand sewing.

My target audience is Mid to High end High Street.
