Non-transient-nature will be a ready-to-wear, Mid-market, Autumn/Winter collection for 2012 based on the concept of the study of nature, and the layered bark of trees as a metaphoric of the layered and complex nature of man, his desire for truth and understanding, his emotions, thoughts, conscience and consciousness. This will be communicated through complex and technical pattern development, layering of fabrics through pleats, tucks, and panels.
The collection will incorporate Jackets and tailored garments, dresses/tunics, skirts, shirts, blouses, and pants with various transparent panels and garments that show the construction and layers communicating man's desire for understanding and truth. This will be done in an elegant, functional manner appropriate for corporate formal wear. Also integrated into this collection will be individual zero waste pieces.
The silhouette will mimic the form of trees, being slimmer at the top, but will also emphasise the natural curves of the female hips to appear more feminine. To emphasise the layering, contrasting binding will be used for openings and significant panels, as well as repetition of fastenings similar to DNA strands for a fun look.
The collection will be designed for business women who want to express their intelligent, serious and feminine personality with a fun twist. The garments will be designed for women between the ages of 20-35.
For future (REAL) collections I will investigate fair trade practices in the hope of investing into this area of study and design.
