Nature and the perception of femininity were the main focus behind this project. Through the use of a range of digital and hand-work techniques, intricate textures and surfaces are overlaid and combined. Mixing noble fibres with technical yarns, leather, coated materials and feathers, the collection of materials mimics the textural beauty of birds of paradise and the intricate structure found in reptiles.
