Artists Statement

Artists Statement

For Fashion student Samantha Watson Fashion is everything; it’s the diverse, exciting world all around us, full of colour, texture & shape. Fashion conveys the idea of beauty in a vast spectrum of lights highlighting culture & social influences, giving the freedom to be whoever you want to be.

Being the pinnacle to the statement, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

Her work shows a deeper meaning to beauty, incorporating diverse shapes and textures into everyday clothing, turning a seeming ordinary piece of clothing into a piece of art, giving it depth and individuality influenced through the depth of time, culture & her love of creation.

Now her direction is focusing on the ethical side of fashion and still maintaining its beauty but with unorthodox materials. She’s really experimenting with the idea of beauty & whether its origins lie in shape, texture or material. Her work will be incorporated into the Bristol Fair Trade Fashion Show coming up in February 2010 where she will be using only fair-trade fabrics and recycled materials to create a spectacularly diverse & colour saturated show a definite must see for all ages and open minds!
