Must Know, Must Love: HOLLY FULTON

Graduating from Edinburgh College of Art and The Royal College of Art, Holly Fulton is a designer must watch.

Her geometric patterns paired with big bold accessories made fashion headlines around the world and they are clearly loving it.

Recently winning the Swarovski Emerging Talent Award for Accessories at the British Fashion Awards in 2009, Holly Fulton takes her inspiration from art and geometry saying,

"I hope that my love of surface sets my designs apart. My shapes lend themselves to decoration and every stage of the process from the initial conception to the technical lay plans informs my designs. Always attracted to strong pieces in terms of design, I have a huge love of art deco and Bauhaus styles, cubist fashion and the geometry within all these genres and the re-interpretation of these into contemporary materials gives me huge inspiration. Surface decoration allows me scope to move forward in fashion. Through this I would hope my aesthetic differs from that of other designers."

Holly Fulton has no problem being different. Her unique synthesis of eclectic materials into a modern high end finish are to die for.

Holly Fulton talks more about her designs on her website by saying

"The ethos of my work is to capture a couture finish and an attention to detail within ready to wear. I aim to re-interpret the traditions of handwork and the use of techniques within couture into contemporary materials and silhouettes to create strong, cohesive collections of womenswear and jewelry. The use of decorative surfaces is vital within my work and I am constantly endeavoring to create a challenging yet beautiful surface which pushes the boundaries of modern fashion."

Here's a video of her Spring Summer 2011 collection:
