Chelsea College of Art and Design

I was invited to the private view of the Chelsea College of Art and Design's MA Textile exhibition. The large exhibition showcased the work of the students final projects and it was great to see such variety within the  exhibition. The different mediums and materials used in the exhibition presented each students work to feel unique and showed off their personal skills and techniques differentiating each piece from one another. My particular favourite from the exhibition was the work by Jessica Chan. Formally a student of Leeds College of Art, Jessica went straight into her MA whilst working alongside various other designers in the industry. Her collection, 'Second Skin' consisted of a range of 6 dresses, each one uniquely designed and printed to perfection. With influences coming from crystals and reptile skin, Jessica used henna and logwood dyes on featherweight silks and cottons to create beautifully fragile pieces. The minimalism of her presentation was perfect in complimenting the delicate collection and drawing focus to the intricate print design on these true pieces of art.
