Lookbook design for fashion designer Catriona Wilson's graduate collection. Catriona Wilson’s highly personal statement reflects her journey through the consuming nature of grief and the ever-fading imprint of the person lost. The designer has re-created and delicately distorted pieces from her beloved late mother’s wardrobe to create a collection imbued with the emotions of loss and mourning. A haze of peach tulle, dusty pink net and organza traps precious fragments within fragile layers. Garments are framed as if pressed in glass and preserved in time; spotty dresses and lace nightgowns are trapped within the outline of a crin leotard. A bedspread of flung clothing forms an ethereal dress with the garments consuming and floating around the body. Ghostly prints of cherished clothing retain echoes of identity and lasting legacy. The approach to the design of lookbook reflects this journey through the use of a haunting serif typeface, delicate uncoated stocks and soft colours.
