Initial line up includes a combination of garments constructed from original 40's/50's menswear patterns, reconstructed in to a contemporary womenswear. Imagine nostalgia.  bomb shelter. elegance. layers. rush. texture. beauty. contradiction.  whilst some how working in unity with one another. This collection reflects elements of utility with femininity. Demonstrating a relaxed and confident approach to clothing and dressing the body. Showing a respect and admiration for past shapes and styling whilst still relating it todays sophisticated city woman.      

I watched atonement the other day again..the character played by Kiera Knightly really inspires me. Her effortless beauty and style crossed with her ability to mix feminine and masculine clothing together, gives an insight in to my collection. Another element of what 'my girl' is all about.
