Jane Bowler

 

 

"My collection is derived from a fusion of traditional Japanese straw raincoats and the iconic British Mackintosh. I have combined stitchless heat forming techniques and ultra-sonic welding of recycled plastics. Through sumptuous colour, lustrous gloss and a harmonious mix of synthetic and natural fibres I am pushing the boundaries of rainwear".
Jane Bowler speaking of her RCA graduation collection.
Jane Bower's work has continued to feature innovative  use of  recycled plastics; knitted, molded and cut, as well as in combination with more traditional fabrics. Her work manages to be both futuristic and playfully retro.
