So this is basically a summery I put together for the inspiration for my collection. I fell in love with the mountainous region of Sapa in Northwest Vietnam. I took part in a 2 day trek through the regions home to the mosaic of ethnic hill tribes including the beautiful Hmong group. It was a journey I will never forget. I fell in Love with the landscape, the way of living, the people and the whole atmosphere of the area. It really inspired something within me. I cannot wait to go back!!!
'From the mountainous terrain of the village of Sapa in the inspiring country of Vietnam is where you will find a mosaic of ethnic hill tribe minority groups.
At a glance the Hmong can be identified among these groups by their distinct clothing of intricate and detailed embroidery, applique, batik patterning and elaborate silver jewellery adoring their bodies.
My designs will translate the Hmong textile techniques into contemporary feminine dresses with the use of vibrant fabrics, exotic colours and elaborate embellishments exploring my love of textiles.
An eclectic fusion of fabrics and fibres and a clash of textures resonating a journey with passion whose lines follow those of the traditional Hmong costume'.
