LASERCUT HANDPAINTED LEATHER

BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles

*- IN PRODUCTION - IMAGES OF COLLECTION COMING SOON - * THE START OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER The concept behind this collection is taken from Reptilian Theory. I have constructed a narrative from the conspiracy in which the UNDERCLASS assassinate those in power as they believe them to be REPTILIAN OVERLORDS that are controlling humanity. "It is believed that Margaret Thatchers recent death was an assassination by an underground resistance group of humans THE PLAN IS THE TAKE BACK CONTROL OF PLANET EARTH BY EXTERMINATING THE REPTILIAN RACE." This collection plays with culturally relevant topics such as Political Injustice, Class and Revolt with a backdrop of conspiracy and paranoia which is widespread in todays Cultural Climate. 'THE START OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER' seeks to communicate a political message through dark humour and metaphor. The aesthetic is rooted in countercultural and the DIY movement. This reflects the technophobic paranoia of conspiracy theorists by keeping everything 'offline' and 'underground'. All Textiles are hand painted and garments are constructed by hand using tradition Leather craft techniques. Through my research I discovered the source of empowerment that Horror Movies and Conspiracy Theories bring to the human conscious. With this in mind, the textiles seek to create the skin of the reptilian race, whilst the garments with raw edges and wrapped silhouettes show these creatures being skinned and worn as a source of empowerment and fearlessness in an increasingly scary world. BIO Textiles Focused Fashion Designer (Print Specialism) Through my BA I have developed an innovative and experimental way of working. Though I specialised in the Print Pathway, I believe my work to be Multimedia and my design process works within many disciplines such as Embroidery, Embellishment, Knit, Leathercraft, CAD CAM Technology and Fashion Design, as well as having an extensive knowledge of Printed Textiles. auralydon@gmail.com Instagram @aurasato
