Head in the clouds

  • Isabelle Dance

This collection is exuberant with fantasy-like creations. The concept was influenced by a love of art, this included looking at various paintings from the Renaissance period and the Post-Impressionist art movement. This is distilled into sumptuous shapes and sensual colours. A trip to The Vatican City furthered the research into looking at clouds, Michael Angelo’s soaring ceiling paintings with clouds inspired a lightness to the collection and the fabrics and garments explore this lightness in imagery, texture and fluid lines. Clouds can represent freedom, emotional purity and positivity. This symbolic meaning provokes joy, which is a powerful thing. The designs within this collection are textural and ethereal. Wet felting and digital prints are key fabrics as well as tulle, brocade and satin. The garments will transform you into a surreal daydream.
