This mini dress can bring to surface a childhood gift and memory. In my early years I was naturally accessing my inner creator through these flower type accessories I was making from recycled wool clothing items. Now with this updated version of myself I was drawn to reintegrate those moments into a different, relevant and more refined form.
My vision was to focus more on volumes and play around that as a starting point. This is how this dress saw the light of creation. Made from 100% British wool, this mini dress with its fallen and wrinkled sleeves creates both a relaxed and timeless look. This simplicity is met with the statement element of flower that can be detached and worn on the shoulder or anywhere as a brooch.
Poem
As I meticulously cut these old woollen fabrics
I allow my creative flow to be my vessel;
I witness its previous life dissolving
through my hand and mind’s vision
I become the life giver
of a new creation;
I’ve naturally built a bridge
between a child and a master
between that girl standing on the floor
and this fully grown-up skilful woman;
I rejoin them with grace
and these merged forces
get tainted with both innocence and the rarest refinement;
I walk and carry myself fully adorned with these forces,
I naturally attract more females with the same thirst,
for beauty, timelessness, grace and sincerity;
