Close up (right) of scale like panels applied to top of marriage coat.

The brief was to design a collection based on historical garment. Inspiration was taken from a marriage coat, made of Salmon skins, from the Amur Basin in Eastern Siberia.

Kerry placed the cut shapes of the salmon skins on a mannequin to determine the natural lines for her different garment designs.

This collection utilises different mixes of skins and textiles to create stunning effects, visually and tactility.
