Welcome Stranger, summer 13


“Welcome stranger” is inspired by the raw, simplistic illustrations in my favourite childhood storybook; The Paper-Flower Tree, by Jacqueline Ayer. Texture is the key and the look is fresh. Inspired by New Zealand designer Zambesi, the fabrics lead the design process. The silhouette is androgynous, relaxed and layered. Paper like, recyclable, Tyvek is the focus. Recycled materials also play an important role. The pieces are versatile and timeless.
