About
My name is Fern Murphy and I am a creative fashion designer from Scotland.
defect form - appREciating the imperfect
My final self-directed project began by communicating an appreciation and a curiosity for the imperfect surfaces around us. The substandard yet aesthetic perspective seen from architectural surfaces after the impact from the environment and society gave me the elements to construct an effective visual language. Giving character that at times goes unnoticed. Depicting colour and understanding the theoretic of tonal combinations and showing how they can complement each other on the body. Furthermore, using hand dying techniques that research deeper into the multitude of colours that can be discovered through defined formulas and time spent in the dye lab. Consequently, I have been able to recreate textural prints that reference my initial visual interests. Along with having great inspirational influence from Japanese designer Rae Kawakubo, creating large scale bold silhouettes that have volume and form.
