Contrast. Japan's weird fabric choices

The Japanese have a weird love for this fabric, it's a bit to 'wolf in sheep's clothing' for me, I think they like it just because it's blond. Embraced the madness and have been playing around with colours and textures.

Good Omens

Using light colours and bold prints on collared shirts to lighten things up for spring. It's been a long winter.

 

 

Production in Japan

It’s been a minute. Reason being I bought a sewing machine a few months ago. Also Japan has [if possible] too much inspiration, with its unique perception on design, styling and what's accepted in society [anything].

Wanted to head in a slightly different direction so have been working on new patterns and a new process in working out designs. Japan enables you to sew for creativity rather than need.

Wool blend

One: Reversible wool top with back zip, to be worn in autumn/spring as is and winter with a button up shirt underneath. One of the most tricky/head scratching/'so science'/technical things I’ve made; reversible things are hard, and I really only wear one side, why do I make it difficult.

 

 

Two: Pinafore. Using the same dark blue wool blend but with a bold tangerine shade of orange linen in the waist detailing.
