Native Americans traditionally use feathers as a form of decoration. I took this idea and used my own drawing of a magpie wing to create a feather pattern printed onto bamboo jersey. I used this as the lining for my 2 jackets to add interest and decoration to the inside. The idea being that the jackets remain relatively simply and easy to wear on the outside, yet provide a 'magpie treasure' on the inside combined with Northumbrian tartan and neon wool.

Canny Coats

Chloe Autumn/Winter 2012

Kate Fletcher states; "The plain coat is the archetypical slow garment; it is generally bought only after due thought and concideration. The coat is used intensively for some periods of the year and is dry-cleaned once a season.
Rather than resisting all signs of wear and tear, the fabric ages gracefully.

The coat has a definite yet flexible design and comes with spare buttons, thread and swatches of fabric for mending, and an ongoing relationship with the designer/store to restyle or refit the coat."

This is where I started thinking about the collection as a whole. I wanted it to be a combination of wardrobe essentials that work as practical garments. I sketched and recorded as many coats as possible to create something that reflects detail and practicality yet works as a sustainable, fashionable piece.

As part of my final year at university I undertook a project with Movember, to help raise awareness for men's health.

I decided to design and make a Movember diary including daily tasks and motivational illustrations of celebrity moustaches to help Movember participants enjoy Movember and grow them mo's!
