Cultural Costume Reimagined

National costume identifies culture and the significance of nations’ customs.

Contemporary fashion continually rebels against customs, whilst simultaneously appropriating traditional costume style and materials.

Intrigued with contemporary indigenous Asian fashion designs I have attended fashion parades, exhibitions, designer studios and bespoke boutiques during my years of travel throughout Asian countries.

Asia Series is based within fashion forms and styles that combine traditional

costume design with 21st century fabrics and concepts of four countries.

I have introduced a personal heritage symbol into the works that include silkscreen printing and Japanese paper collage.

The artworks are float mounted and framed to harmonize with the colour tones of the work.
