Bloom is a contemporary fashion print collection that presents a montage of dark, mystical florals for an Autumn/Winter fashion context.
Using a technique of fresh flower pressing and photographing the result against hand painted colour grounds, they begin to appear as scattered floral textile prints.
Combinations of photography, paper cuttings and hand drawn imagery produce compositions of realistic flowers amongst block shapes.
Digital editing generates x-ray-effect prints in a palette of moody tones with a dynamic contrast to lucid highlights.
