Olivia Lupton

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Technology (Womenswear) 2021

My Womenswear collection is inspired by black and white photographers Herb Ritts, Irving Penn and Oliver Stalman.

Each artist has a unique way of photographing women specifically. My development and designs were heavily influenced by movement as well as light and shadow techniques replicated using my monochrome colour pallete. I kept with the black and white, focusing on using fabrics and layering to create unique silhoettes and textures. My designs have fluidly to contour and accentuate the natural lines of the female body.
