Final Collection

Tess is a Womensear Fashion Design graduate from UCA, whose final year collection centres around the shapes, details and colours of fungi. This led to her innovating a handcrafted lace and seaming technique inspired bu the thread-like effect of fungi mycelium, a key part of the collection. Tess' love for texture, elegance and draping is reflected in her work. Her aim was to create something feminine and delicate, but with some quirk and fun at the same time. Through the use of 3D stand work and draping, she designed and emulated the organic shapes she could see in her favourite mushrooms.
