Felicty Brown

Felicity Brown a fashion designer which graduated from royal college of art, is inspirational to me because her collection has elegance wear ability and surrounds textiles, which are all things that I find inspirational.

"Wearing Felicity Brown is a sensuous, delectable, covetable experience. It makes you feel like kicking off your heels and running through a dew sodden English meadow, kicking and twirling all the way. These are the dresses girlhood dreams are made of. In a very grown up sexy way."


"Raw yet refined the collection shows the amazing attention for detail and fantastic creative talent that have marked Felicity's career to date." Vogue Italia March 2010.


"Largely inspired by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings where flamboyant and provocative women are painted wearing extravagant silk ruffles and showing off shamelessly. The dresses, using precious silks are highly structured with hand dip dyed pleats and prints. The British Fashion Council were quick to recognise Felicity's talent and have awarded her the much coveted NewGen sponsorship for SS11."

 

I like the way she has used dip dye and silk fabrics, creating this really dream like collection, inspired by an Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's which painted women in big ruffle silhouettes also his painting were very colourful, which is where Brown has got her inspiration for colour, felicity brown has inspired me through her textile techniques, I am going to explore into dip dyeing and other processes of dyeing to get the desired effect from my inspiration.
