"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.
