All Fur Coat & No Knickers’ is a tale of riches to rags, drawing inspiration from the conflicting features associated with both 1930’s Hollywood and Great Depression Era America. My collection focuses on the deterioration of one woman’s world, as she descends from a life of glamour, luxury and excess, into the depths of poverty and disarray. In keeping with the paradoxical nature of my theme, my collection sees haute couture finishes created using recycled materials, while the once beautifully elegant designs my protagonist treasured so dearly are now patched-up, mended and hand-stitched with whatever resources are deemed fit.
