TAFE Innovators at RAFW

The TAFE Innovaters show has been one of my favourites so far (Kate Sylvester + Beat Poet in first place!)

First up was Seoli Pedrozo:

This collection was Black, sculpted and elegant. DESIGNED. Style lines were balanced and proportional – circular shapes reflected in frills and gathered pleats.

The mesmerizing projection on the back wall of this collection gave us a hint glimpse of prints to come...




Pun by Seema Pun

Fabric was folded and crafted to leave a circular hole that appeared throughout the collection mainly on the backs of garments. A series of skirts were crafted out of square pieces to create a hexagonal shape around the models hips. Circular bobbles! Well styled with the circular shapes appearing in necklaces and rings.






Christian Lines

Fab intersecting line prints. Dropped crotch men’s pants. Girls in elegant jersey print dresses – interesting to see the boys wrapped and more restrained. I’m in love with his jersey dresses – were they bias cut with a square panel insert at the side? NEED TO SEE THEM AGAIN!!!

This fabulous shape translated into a neat take on the popular harem shape in [the women’s] shorts and then into mens trousers. Loved the shape of these men’s pants [picture] how the drapery created from the droppe crotch was carried through to the ankle resulting in a smooth and elegant shape.
