Silicone valley: Graduate show makes an impression

Each item in the collection is made from one piece of silicone that is embossed and imprinted with pearl and jewellery shapes, extra coat layers and belts. The embossing creates a trompe l’oeil effect that makes the single tunics, dresses, tops and skirts look multi-layered.

The use of pearl shapes, decorative patterns and white pastel colours chimes with our Sweet Nostalgia design direction, in which designers take their cues from 18th-century European styles.
