'Ethereal Solace' investigates the relationship between gender and fashion through the interaction of material and the body in a collection. The line-up embraces sexuality, expression, self-love and acceptance with no boundaries or fear of the consequences of standing out. By removing the line between genders, the collection creates fluid garments open for all, combining aspects of the stereotypical ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’ look to express fluidity.
The garment silhouettes stem from the corset archetype. Taking this as a base, it is modernised into a new design that is accessible and fit-for-all. This is done by combining techniques of lingerie and corsetry with soft knitted materials, to allow the garments to stretch and mould around the body.
