The Bite Magazine - issue 16

From Northumbria University, Dora Nachilma addressed the changes within the fashion indus- try by presenting a collection that blended both menswear and womenswear. Key elements were an individual modern take on tartan, bowler hats and braces. Ellen Crabtree created a collection of contrasts. Delicate lace stood against heavy knitwear and frilly edging contradicted military hats. As the final model walked, she removed a corner of the thick trench coat off her shoulder to reveal a delicate white lace bra. It was all about the details for Katherine Leigh with tiny pompoms adorning socks, hats and bows. A refreshing interpretation of paisley and polka dots was seen throughout the looks. Samuel Beaumont Perkins brought street style to menswear, with matching printed sets over crisp white shirts and a healthy dose of artistic scribbling.Think dark tartan, paint splatters and tracksuit bottoms. Wenyue Zhang’s eye-catching headdresses featured brightly coloured tassels and beautiful detailings. Embroi- dered pompoms and pearls seeped from the accessories into the garments. bite fashion Dora Nachilma Katherine Leigh Samuel Beaumont Perkins Wenyue Zhang NORTHUMBRIA Ellen Crabtree
