Lucie Halley has just graduated from Kingston University Fashion BA and these are are few examples from her graduate collection 'Becalmed Element' inspired by features taken from swimming costumes. Lucie's work has a theatricality about it, presenting a facade of hand dyed prints and clean cut silhouettes, but always having a secret, a revealing exposure of flesh or pattern.

Wood as fabric is an interesting concept that has been explored by Eliza Strozyk in her 'wooden carpets'. Here Stephanie Nieuwenhuyse, inspired by discarded woodchips from fellow students has created 'Biomimicry' as her MA at Kingston. "I have strived to create a luxurious sustainable garment using natures natural patterns and shapes, also known as bio-mimicking, such as reptile skins. I have created a garment with a luxurious appeal without depleting any natural resources." Stephanie Nieuwenhuyse (Thanks)

Naama Rietti

"raw, natural and organic; an allowance of freedom without restraint has driven my process . . . sensual and erotic, animalistic interventions plait, knot and weave their way into sculptural bodily forms. A mixture of luxurious leathers and lustrous animal fibres layer the body, celebrating the female form and its seductive endowment." Naama Rietti graduated from Kingston University with a BA in fashion in 2010, for those of you interested in incorporating knitting into your designs her show and development work are very inspiring.
