Back in June 2011 I decided to start my own fashion label. It was something I had been mulling over for many years and I had collected a lot of ideas. Here are some of the things that inspired the collection I went on to make..
Henri Rousseau's amazing jungle paintings
This image from a botanical book
This is a post card I picked up from the V&A. It's a detail from a Japanese kimono from 1900 - 1920. I had this post card on my wall for a long time and I eventually used the bird shape to create the leather motif on the wool jacket
The bomber jacket I made as part of my first collection
The leather came from a man's jacket that I cut up into pieces
