'Impermanence' is a collection that explores the fragility of life. I wanted this collection to embody life, energy, and celebration. A flower is no less beautiful just because it dies, the great love is not less just because it ends.I found visual inspiration for this collection by looking at how nature artists explore this idea in their work. The sculptural curves and wrapping elements of the collection were inspired by willow sculptures created by Patrick Dougherty. The fleeting beauty of the sun setting on the ocean is captured through the colours while the texture captures energy and life. I focused on an ephemeral art piece by Andy Goldsworthy to guide me toward this raw energy for texture. I used biodegradable fabrics of deadstock wool, linen and cupro lining to create a natural collection that will eventually break down and continue its new role in the circle of life. Nothing is supposed to last forever, not even this collection.
