BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development
Rebecca Morter is a london based fashion Designer born in Auckland, New Zealand, expecting to graduate with Honours in BA Fashion Design and Development this coming July 2013. Rebeccaâs New Zealand Heritage filters into her work, founded upon New Zealandâs unusual natural resources combined with a contemporary design approach. In 2011, Rebecca won the contract to design the restaurant uniforms for the london 2012 Olympic games, runner-up to designing a collection of dresses for Whistles in 2011 and most recently, shortlisted for the Deutsche Bank awards 2013. In 2012, Rebecca spent eight months working within the Ready-to-wear design team at Alexander Wang, as well as other design work experience with Simone Rocha, Paul Costelloe, and John Lewisâs new range; Weekend, where Rebecca designed the first inhouse jewellery collection. My work celebrates the female form, and I find myself continuously playing with the idea of revealing, but at the same time concealing the body. Leathers will always play a leading role due to my new zealand heritage, and somewhat due to my recent work experience with the design team at Alexander wang. An amalgamation between the lightest of fabrics with heavier, grainy, dense leathers. becmorter@gmail.com WWW.REBECCAMORTER.COM Rebecca has joined forces with Gemma Vanson to launch London based fashion label REIN BY REBECCA MORTER.
