I met Michelle Lowe-Holder at London Fashion Week in February where she was showing her AW10 accessories collection inspired by the idea of creating treasures from trash - more about that collection in a later post.
Michelle has always loved using traditional textile embellishment techniques in her work, which shines through in her latest collection for SS10 - Summer Smock. In this collection of mainly black and cream pieces, Michelle has redesigned historic "Labourer's Embroidery" from the middle ages, bringing it bang up-to-date with modern shapes created in fluid jersey and ruffled silk.
I love this collection! Each piece has an effortless and unique style. And isn't that what we'd all like to have?
