BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles
Shireeka Devlin is an Irish womenswear and textiles designer based in London. She has recently graduated in BA (Hons) Degree in Surface Textiles for Fashion at London College of Fashion. She likes to create extremely wild and fun pieces that are wearable yet showstopping. She loves to use as much colour and print in her work as possible. Her silhouettes are inspired by menswear contrasted with really playful, feminine loud colours and insane prints inspired by everything in her daily life even if itâs something simple such as a poster of a monkey. Her work is all about the print and she believes in lots hand rendering and primary research mixed with CAD to make her artwork and patterns more personal and interesting. Her latest collection âTrippin' Over My Dreamsâ, explores and translates the view âThings are not always what they seemâ, in a light â hearted and playful way. The collection is based on optical illusion art. Influenced by a variety of optical illusion techniques and subtle 80âs fashion, the collection is fun yet sophisticated.
