NEW DESIGNERS: LUCY BAXTER

Lucy Baxter has recently graduated in MA Fashion from Kingston University where her collection 'BeDazzled' opened the MA show. The collection was also selected to show at Wuhan Fashion Week SS19 in China winning the 'Excellence Award'. The collection ‘BeDazzled’ captures the shimmering glamour of Peruvian dress which is rich in embellishment, colour and story. It identifies the unique ethnic cultures and regional costumes of Peru by exploring colour, pattern and hand crafts of Peruvian costume and textiles through contemporary embellishments. The project experiments with innovative and sustainable materials and techniques combining woven hand-cut plastic with fringe detailing. Playing around with vivid blended colours, mesh cut-outs and boxy shapes.
