  • Kelly Allen’s Statement

    Drawing and recording everyday life, experiences and journeys is the core inspiration to my creativity.

    My sophisticated and sometimes humorous illustrations use collage block colour with delicate line and considered spatial composition. These are translated directly into signature, engineered and repeat prints for fashion.

    This collection of luxury casualwear garments is inspired by west London, depicting scenes that suggest a narrative: picturesque wharf houses, small river boats docked on the Thames, views of the ornate Hammersmith Bridge and Kensington Gardens, combined with bird and stripe motifs; quirky yet sensitive designs for womenswear using both traditional screen processes and digital technologies.
