What a gorgeous sunny morning! I’ll keep my intro short, otherwise I will go into some long convoluted digression that I’m quite sure you don’t have time for. Today’s designer is Davina Hawthorne, a fashion and textile designer producing cutting-edge clothes for women. Her work combines textiles and fashion and seeks to push the boundaries of these two disciplines through finishing, texture, function and silhouette. A combination of recycled, industrial and handcrafted techniques are used in her work. Digital print runs alongside hand stitched embroideries and extravagant recycled fabric garlands to create an exciting infusion of pattern, texture and shape. Her dresses are truly breathtaking and I love her unique draping techniques. Davina Hawthorne was one of the first labels to exhibit at Esthetica, a new area within London Fashion week dedicated to eco-sustainable fashion design. Enjoy!
* a hint at the level of my randomness: Today’s designer is Davina Hawthorne, which got me thinking about Nathaniel Hawthorne… whom I love (it is “whom,” right?) Anyway, as I was thinking about him, and moonlight sculptures and sunlight paintings, I recalled this great quote which is very applicable to my life right now, so I used it as the title of this post. Now who’s the king of randomness!?
