Panda is studying BA Fashion Design and busy preparing for the forthcoming Art & Design Degree Show, where her final designs will be showcased next Thursday. Her collection was inspired by the hot topic of global warming and imagining a world with changeable and extreme weather – therefore her clothing had to be versatile. This led to designs which include a dress with removable leggings, a top with crotchless chaps and a playsuit which turns into a jacket.
Even the design of the pattern is inspirational. From a distance this may look like a form of tie-dye, when in fact up close you can see it’s a montage of faces. Spooky! Panda took the inspiration of a modern camouflage and wanted her models to look like someone else. She photocopied the faces of some willing (very good!) friends to create the imaginative and cutting edge pattern that looks great on everybody. The collection also contains face-inspired bags and hats to top of the look. I can’t wait for a high-street retailer to pick these designs up so I can nab one for myself...
Panda has always wanted to be a fashion designer and is hoping to one day to have her own label, but for the meantime she’s extremely busy preparing for next weeks show and completing her collection. Make sure you pick up a copy of tomorrow’s Metro newspaper – one of Panda’s pieces has even been chosen to represent the talent on offer at Graduate Fashion Week. Good luck Panda!
