KERRY O'BRINE - GRADUATE CATWALK COLLECTION

STATEMENT OF INTENT

FOR YEAR 3 CATWALK COLLECTION (part 2)

As part of the collection I am looking to use aluminium (silver and perhaps brushed). The aluminium will form part of the showpiece and some accessories. I see these all being made in or part made in aluminium:

• Sleek high over the knee boots or sleek grey boots with metal leg armour over the top
• Metal heeled pointy shoes
• A minimalist rectangle clutch bag
• A belt, hat or flat bangle

The music I imagine is clear, sharp sounds (perhaps operatic) over a hard-hitting beat.

Finding the right fabric and the right colour combination is my priority. I will be approaching the outer garments first to give the overall silhouette and this will then indicate to me what will be needed underneath.

I am aiming my collection for Couture level. I feel that the style will be a cross between Gucci’s sleek and sophistication and Galliano for Dior’s large and dramatic pieces. Although there will be pieces in the collection designed purely for show there will also be pieces that could be sold in Selfridges or Harrods. My Unique selling point is the mix of different materials and textures within the collection and the way I use only one colour.
