Dark Flight - Part of the Arcane Spectres Final Year Collection

  • Suzy Ager

Arcane Spectres is inspired by the dark, mysterious nature of female villainy. Folkloric symbols from the natural world are used to explore contrasting representations of femininity. Illustrative imagery combines with explorations of texture and shadow to create embroidered samples suitable for high end women’s occasion wear. The Dark Flight sub-collection centres around birds, flight and feathers.
