Isabella j'adores les sciseaux

As I am sure it is fairly clear, I definitely have more than a fleeting fondness for the scissor. But why is this? Well, I like fashion that has a bit of a meaning and a backbone, as clothing can be such a communicative tool. The humble scissor I feel is one of the most essential tools when it comes to making clothing - so many functions could not be carried out without it. So, my work is a salute to the scissor, because without it I would not be able to carry out any of my work. I like the phrase 'cut here' as it is quite a powerful phrase, an order, and one that almost everyone has said or followed at least once in their lives, even if this involved cutting a token from a cereal box. Also, 'cut here' is something that is applied so often in clothing manufacture that I felt this needed a salute as well.

Love & scissors,

Necklace

After feeling generally uninspired by the crop of necklace jewellery in stores recently, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create something of my own. I used elements typically associated with machinery as I like to try to create something elegant from something conventionally not. As a first attempt, I am quite happy, but I think that this could just be the start of a series of experiments.

Scissors Stripe 2

I have amended my initial idea for a stripe involving scissors to create something more subtle. Ideally, the dotted stripe would be very infrequent if produced in cloth form, so that it could barely be noticed.

High Resolution Catwalk Photographs

I have finally acquired high resolution images of my final collection shown at London Fashion Week, so thought I would post them up. Thanks to catwalking.com.

Scissor Stripe

This is an idea that I have had knocking around for sometime now, and finally had some time to put it into practice. It hasn't worked as effectively as I hope that it would do, so I think more experiementation is required. I am currently thinking about how scissors could be translated into a more viable and ultimately wearbale print. I think that subtlety is perhaps the key.
