Announcing... The WINNERS of the 2nd annual theFashionSpot Awards:
Designer of the YearCongratulations to ALL of our worthy winners! Thank you to our tFS forum members who voted and particupated.
I graduated this summer from Leeds college of art and design, england. A attained a BA (first class) degree in printed textiles and surface pattern design. My collection 'Mister Charlesworth' consists of laser cut paper panels featuring imagery of bugs and insects which are transformed into intricate lace-like cut paper designs.
This summer I exhibited the collection at "New Designers", London which resulted in a commissioned piece of work for Chiltern St Studio, London. I produced a series of laser cut paper panels for a window display in the studio. I have also been approached by a boutique in Belfast, Ireland who are interested in showing my work in their store.
rag&boneThese works can be seen as metaphors for language. I use non traditional art materials such as books and clothes to create work which evokes a sense of dreamy melancholy or magical enchantment. I’m interested in the realm of fairy-tales and folk-legends and have been working on a series of book-works exploring these themes and find the materialization of the flat piece of paper an almost magical process.
