I am looking for inspiration through my summer for my final project in fashion, so i have been looking at previous graduates and what they have been doing to make there line up or garments stand out.
Trisha Sakhlecha
Looking through the graduates, Trisha's work really stood out it was something that i have a deep interest in, but its not just Trisha's Theme that is inspiring its the way Trisha has made her garments and the fabrics they are made from.
Trisha Describes her collection:
"Escapism and utopian desires are certainly a much needed indulgence today!
My Spring Summer 2011 collection “Caught in a Tale” begins with the story of a girl who once loved fairy tales, and who wants to believe again... in fairies, enchantments and magic.
Inspired by the Victorian illustrator Arthur Rackham, Caught in a Tale uses fine goat suede, lightweight silk and sheers with techniques such as marbling, laser cutting and engraving. Silhouettes play with scale as Victorian frills and baby’s clothes are blown out of proportion, cut up, and collaged to build a range with childishly naive, asymmetric shapes, quirky prints and laser cut suede laces. Shoulders droop, frills start to look schizophrenic and dresses and skirts get twisted to the point of subversion.
The fact that a skirt sits diagonally on the waist adds to the strange, wonky undertone. Add transparent glass nylon so shiny it looks like plastic and gigantic platform shoes and this season’s somewhat absurd, somewhat fabulous character is born."

I like the way Trisha used a story line for inspiration, the way the story developed through her research and work, and ended up with a beautiful line up
Trisha's work can be seen at the London College of Fashion Graduate show
You should also look at her "Caught in a Tale" Books they are influential and inspiring, you see this story develop through Trisha's work and it takes on such a weird and wonderful story with a beautiful out come
To look at her "Caught in a Tale" books and The Pictures above Visit:

I wish Trisha all the best with her career!
She has started it of with a bang
