REBECCA HEAD REBECCA BUTTERWORTH CHLOE JONES LARA CHIPPING EMILY RICKARD BATH SPA & WILTSHIRE COLLEGE OF SALISBURY A nother excellent variety of fashion from the two MRWXMXYXMSRW IGGPIWMEWXMGEP LSSHIH QSRO PMOI ½KYVIW opened the show with an interesting take on the street wear and religion trend with Chloe Jones’ collection entitled ‘Our Father Who Art in Heaven.’ It was an intelligent mix of sportswear and couture that hid the body from head to toe much like a monk’s habit. She then went on the win the prestigious Gold Award for her work. The rest of the show saw some familiar trends such as digital prints, fringing and leather belts and harnesses. Other interesting details were the use of tights over wedged heels forming a seamless effect, diamanté crystals under chiffon that gave a slight glimmer when hit by the lights and shockingly, dolls heads hung from necklaces that were appliqued onto warped garments in acid colours. As strange as it sounds, Rebecca Butterworth produced an unnerving but exploitive collection about the lost souls of infants that descended on the earth. It was not something that one would wear to meet the parents but it was brazenly bold and brilliant to the eye. bite catwalk
