DESIGN STATEMENT:
Budding; the process of a plant being able to grow individual buds ready to sprout on their own. In the midst of external factors in today’s world, it has given us the opportunity to spend time in our own homes. Reflecting upon the design journey for this collection, the concept of growth and branching out has been the perfect introduction to what life is going to be in future. Cherise focuses on fabric manipulation, creating unique tactile textures, formed into a modern silhouette. The colour palette of this collection is a representation of colour psychology, Green or Chartreuse represents growth, harmony and tranquility, it is also associated with nature and the beauty of it.
