Amy Revier

The Silent Traveller is an ongoing project by Amy Revier honouring literature through textile and clothing creation, a study of the intersection between clothing and literature, exploring how the two operate as parallel forms of travel. Each reader’s suit set is paired with an antiquarian travel memoir, drawing its colour and sensibility from the text. Inspired by Chiang Yee’s memoir ‘The Silent Traveller in the Yorkshire Dales’ (1941), this collection honours the timeless nature of his artistic and literary practice, an homage to the beauty and sensitivity of moving through the world with consideration and care.

Edition VI winter sets in Yorkshire corduroy are made for & available @bluemountainschool

Koeum Park

 

Forme D’expression is a fashion label designed by the female Korean designer Koeun Park.

The meticulous approach to construction, followed by many layers of post-work exemplifies the brand’s philosophy of having the clothing be real. Her women’s and men’s collections are created with a full wardrobe in mind and cater to men and women who appreciate luxury in subtlety. Koeum's pieces hold intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that brings contemporary style to the forefront. Forme D’expression is a uniquely quiet design structure that gives women and men’s luxury street fashion a subtle breath of fresh air.

It was Burns day at the weekend and these skirts though made out of kimonos reminded me of kilts and Vivian Westwood's tartan punk, recycled splendour, created by Kaya

Bianca Severijns

Bianca Severijns transforms hand-torn paper into intricate vessels, blankets, garments and art works  that echo the rhythms of nature and life. Some pieces resemble nests, while others take the form of grand, wearable furs - protective yet delicate, like quills on an echidna’s back, forming an illusive armour.

For the 2019 Venice Biennial Personal Structures 'Identities', she created a wall installation of protective blankets and a video, symbolising fundamental human rights, security, and freedom.
