Award Winning
ALEXANDRA CLARKE
Alex Clarke is at the very beginning of her fashion journey.
Currently she is studying Fashion and Design at Oxford Brookes and next year
will embark on a three year BA Honours Fashion and Design course at Kingston
University in London.
Her first ever collection of dresses was inspired by
galaxies, the solar system and star constellations. The quirky construction
techniques of space shuttles and the majestic swirling colours of the galaxies
all helped to inspire the structure and design as well as informed the fabric
choices and inspired her to make her own fabrics. Alex’s work has a sculptural
element to it as well as being wearable and figure flattering. The garments incorporate
the 1960’s space age sensation as well as creating the illusion of a slimming
silhouette with all the detailing enhancing the hourglass figure.
All of her garments are handmade and she has a keen eye for
attention to detail. The way in which
the stunning detailed panels down the dresses are created is through layering
of many different fabrics and then cutting them away to reveal others, this
technique means that each garment is entirely individual and you will see no
two garments that are the same.
Alex has also showcased in fashion shows and has won an award for Best in Fashion and Textiles.
Im sure you will agree that Alex is a very talented designer and one to definitely watch out for.
