ORIGINS
"Origins" means water, the vital element, a subject explored by scientists, designers and
artists.
"Origins" also means the Garden of Eden, the imaginary vision of a fantastical paradise,
exuberant and luxuriant, an alternative to our humdrum reality.
"Origins" also suggests primitive cultures, and Africa in particular.
WATERLAND
Aquastar
Mirrors cut in the shape of water pools and
showers of crystal introduce the theme of
water. A limpid, aquatic fluidity gives a
flowing rhythm to the essential simplicity of
pared-down shapes, minimalist lines,
sculptural volumes.
The garment ripples, pleats, rolls ; the
fabric flows and billows; prints are hazy
and blurred; every shade of blue and
crystal from lagoon to ultramarine.
Miss Clean
A wall of washing machines and clothes
hanging out to dry offer another vision of
water - the source of cleanliness and
purity.
Reviving the spirit of the trousseau and the
fine work of the laundrywoman fluting lace
and guipures. Transparency and lightness,
frothy pleats, flounces, raised/lowered
waistlines. Voiles are everywhere,
accompanied by iridescent muslins and
broderie anglaise, immaculate flowing
nightgowns, and trousers with a crisp,
starchy purity. Whites accompanied by
iridescent effects.
WONDERLAND
Princess Memory
Living in a world of nostalgia, a world with
walls painted in slightly jarring pastel
shades. A neo-romantic, bohemian,
creative figure, her wardrobe is full of
traditional floral prints - with a new twist.
She layers crochet skirts and blouses with
flowers and lace, loves flounces and
vibrant pastel shades.
Acid Baby Doll
On the walls, zany designs influenced by
Japanese-style kawai illustrations. Acid
Baby Doll combines different influences in
a random way, refusing moderation,
exaggerating shapes and violating codes,
jarring, setting out to shock. Dressing up is
a creative, regressive game - against a
backdrop of floral pastels, and brilliant acid
tones.
PRIMITIVELAND
First Class Passenger
This super-elegant traveller is on a quest
for the authentic, in a gallery of African art,
creating a mix and match combination of
the things that inspire her, preferring
matte, raw effects - a base of neutrals
offset by gold and jewellery. A
sophisticated, urban look with a passion
for natural fabrics, craft weaves, safari
jackets, upmarket canvas and trousers,
Nehru jackets, shirtwaister
Ethnic Queen
Against a backdrop of African matting and
boubou tunics, the Ethnic Queen lives in a
colourful world of ethnic designs and rich
patterns, she loves mixing fabrics and
motifs, adores charms and talismans,
tattoos, tie & dye and henna motifs. She
wears knotted dresses, ethnic-style robes,
rustic knits, batik patchworks, indigos and
natural, earthy reds.
