Visualising a flying squirrel landing in an urban cityscape, the designer worked with simple geometrical shapes which took cues off modern architectures. The pieces are formed from basic shapes like squares, circles and triangles, which is evident when the garments are laid flat. Accentuating the woman’s curve, cut-out pattern drafts are ‘sandwiched’ and sewn together primitively (through non-fussy and uncomplicated construction). Though the concept for the collection was kept organic, when being worn, the fabric naturally falls into synchronizing drapes and flounces creating a bold effect. Body proportions, fitting issues as well as careful mathematical formulation were taken into deep consideration.
Breaking away from the austerity of A/W10, S/S11 features raised hemlines for a more optimistic and floaty collection. The designer hopes that the wearer will be able to fantasise themselves on escapism, like a flying squirrel, a bee, or even a butterfly; a desire to escape from reality. Ultra lightweight and breathable fabrics with a colour palette that resembles the transiting light at the end of a tunnel were used throughout the collection (e.g. aquamarine, turquoise, teal green juxtaposed with sandy tones and young&restless’ signature black colour)
