LONE STAR

Lone Star is a gritty narrative of a young girl based around the stories told in Corinne Day’s photography of her friends and the young Kate Moss in the 90s mixed with the influences of bold female characters from Americana road films. Girls who encompass a blend of both fearlessness and femininity. The collection is influenced by my own photography of motels along the west coast of the US, as well as research into temporary structures, such as scaffolding, and artists who create sculptural forms with material and drape. The collection aims to capture the contradictory characters within the mind of this girl, the desire for elegance and sophistication fighting against the playfulness and authenticity of youth and exposure. My collection hopes to capture this clash with the use of dramatic silhouette. Silk slip dresses, sheer drapes, exposed underwear and cowboy boots, walking home at sunrise in someone else’s jacket.
