BIO: 

The product of two opposing forces. Ewan's fashion design practice is situated in the grey area between right and wrong, function and dysfunctional, desire and antipathy. Combining elements of deconstructed and discarded garments with the elegance in historic and classical silhouettes, he questions the standards of high fashion with deranged, beautiful modern shapes. Powered by the greed for authenticity and an enthusiasm for couture craftsmanship, his vision explores the ethos of showing two intertwined, but contradicting forces.  

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Faust, the protagonist of the German legend, known for trading his soul with Mephistopheles, for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. Today the word Faust applies to individuals that sacrifice spiritual values for instant yet fleeting gratifications. The allurement to go against  the individual's values and morals has become rudimentary. Fuelled by the constant and rapid technological advances whether it be lust, gluttony, greed or  pride, the Faust souls burgeons. The collection, FAUST, is inspired by the silhouettes and accessories of the early  modern witches and the witch hunts of New England. Utilising a light neutral colour palette of silk, wool and brocade, garments have been constructed through the draping of a mans’ shirt over the female figure. The collection imagines a witch returning from a black  sabbath, satiated off the lust and pride of the yestereve, leaving in a hasted yet sublime demeanour. Dedicated to young contemporary women who are unafraid of emanating empowerment without fear of judgment.
