About The Work:
The parallel practices between fashion and other design disciplines. In particular, investigating and analysing the cross fertilization of materials, processes and methodologies between fashion and architecture, which resulted in the design, production and exhibition of a leather womenswear collection - Architectonic (2009) - underpinned by and influenced from research findings, which explored creative pattern cutting and experimented with leather and suede fabrication and surface.
