Emiah Couture:

        Alycia Hirani  Is the designer behind Emiah couture, she is originally from South Wales, and is currently studying in Birmingham City University. She specializes in bespoke wear, paying particular attention in perfecting very detailed and pain stacking work. Alycia loves to blend art with fashion, making the wearer feel elegant and beautiful.

The ‘All that Glitters’ series is her second collection and started when she stumbled upon some unusual woolen fabric with shots of multi-coloured threads running threw it. This set her mind racing with ideas of how to juxtapose the heavy thick wool with the delicate chiffons, experimenting with simple shapes, yet playing with drape and colour with shots of gold to create different effects. This is Emiah’s first ready-to-wear collection and will be on sale later on this year.

Emiah has also decided to show a sneak peek of her new ‘Lichen’ collection which features garments including corsetry and lingerie using delicate silk chiffons and couture lace’s. This is set to be launched later on next year.

LAUREN TAYLOR

PERSONAL OVERVIEW 

Lauren Taylor is currently a fourth year Fashion Design student at the University of South Wales.  She has returned to her final year of study after completing a year in industry working at fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen and Fyodor Golan where she has been trained in women’s wear design and pattern cutting.

LAUREN TAYLOR – COLLECTION CONCEPT

The collection of three designs uses the theme  “Resilience” which  is incorporated perfectly with the twists and emerging coils  of the garments which adapt and stretch around the body.  

Beginning with the phrase “infinitesimal gradations” meaning extremes of sizes, helped to create distorted shapes that could be used  as features to the collection such as the elongated sleeves, neck and enlarged chest pieces against the body to incorporate the theme.

The garments were created to be worn differently every time they are worn which updates and  gives the garment longevity,  becoming an  important piece  of a woman’s wardrobe.  

The garments give the customer a chance to be creative as they can twist, turn and knot the garments in any way they like, letting them style and update their wardrobe each time.

BIJOU VOLANT BY MENNA WILLIAMS

The name of the collection derives from the French translation of ‘flying jewel’, a descriptive byname for the smallest bird in the world, the hummingbird. Even with their miniscule size, they possess approximately 940 feathers. This is figuratively represented in the tiny stitches upon each hummingbird featured in the collection. Bijou Volant consists of five garments, two dresses and three skirts. The colour variety in the collection is resonant of the bird’s reliance upon colour, as they have no sense of smell. The bird’s grace and fragility is found inspirational and admirable among many different cultures. They are a totem for simplicity, joy, independence and resiliency. Poet Pablo Neruda wrote of the bird in his poem ‘Ode to the Hummingbird’:

 

'From scarlet to powdered gold, to blazing yellow, to the rareashen emerald, to the orange and black velvet of your shimmering corselet, out to the tipthat likean amber thornbegins you, small, superlative being, you are a miracle, and you blaze’.
