One of the most exciting thiThere’s simply no better way to start off the week, than to have with us Jane Bowler, a London-based designer whose extraordinary skills in using plastics as core materials in most of her designs, which are impactful as well as revolutionary, as what I’d like to think of as wearable ‘coutures’.
While her designs may not exactly be coutures, her impressive usage of such complex, challenging, and as some would say, unusual choice of materials, and pairing them together with other fabrics, such as pvc and knits in a seamless manner, are immediate headturners that challenge the status quo.
I, for one, am especially intrigued and amazed at how these clothes of hers, which appear to be seemingly unwearable, are in fact, made highly wearable with fusions of technology in her fabrics, as well as thoroughly thought-through innovations that mirror her extreme talent in design. In some instances, her works reminds me that of Maison Martin Margiela‘s, except that Jane’s designs are brighter in hues, and so full of vitality and liveliness.
