'ALL WALKS BEYOND THE CATWALK'

MY DESIGN STATEMENT
 
Wearing the dress is a strong minded business woman, proud of her feminity, carrying herself with strength and dignity. She is between the ages of 25 and 45 working within the creative industry. In her spare time she enjoys shopping, attending fashion shows, and home decoration.
 
The design combines feminity with angular edges and textural details, designed to capture the persona and aura of a career led woman. The inspiration behind the design came mainly from the characteristics of the woman wearing it, how she carries herself and would be seen by others. The angles are inspired by architecture, weaved fabric with a mixture of ceramics showing cross hatching texture along with woven hair details. The dress is about making the woman wearing it feel special and empowered without sexualising areas of the body. The bodice adds texture to a sleek dress, whilst the detachable cowl and peplum allows the wearer to choose when and how it is worn. The dress is designed for a woman either already powerful or simply wanting to feel empowered.
