The title The Tender Line hopes to capture the humanity and fragility of an idea and then how it's made real through a mechanical process.
This collection takes primary influence from the 1920's and the ideas of the modernist future held at the time. Motifs reflecting the symmetry of the machines and geometry of the architecture in Fritz Lang's film Metropolis. Also exploring further the Art Deco philosophy of using machine production to create elegant and streamlined designs through our use of etched industrial metals to make delicate and decorative pieces.
The collection is imagined to be worn by Gloria the capricious beauty in F Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Beautiful and Damned.
