FABRIC OF THE CITY 

The Jane Bowler AW15 copper dress and plastic crochet dress are currently on show in the ‘Fabric of the City’ exhibition at the London Metropolitan University, where leading textile and fashion designers from the East End of London have created new works in response to the fabrics of the 17th century silk weavers of Spitalfields. Utilising the support of archival material from the Museum of London and the V&A Museum.

Inspired by the rich history of the Huguenots, many of whom settled in and around East London, The Cass School of Design is contributing to the ‘Huguenot Summer 2015’, a festival organised by the Huguenots of Spitalfields in partnership with the City of London.

JANE BOWLER AW15 : INSPIRED BY HUGUENOT TEXTILES

The new Jane Bowler AW15 collection was inspired by the exquisite craftsmanship of the Huguenots weavers and their beautiful use of metallic threads.

The copper dress was constructed using hand cut plastic multiples in combination with soft metallic strips which are hand woven throughout the garment, allowing the material to grow over the body of its wearer.

This woven element was also carried forward in Bowler's plastic crochet dress, which was made in collaboration with knitwear designer, Heather Orr.  Woven imagery and surface texture are embedded into the surface of the plastic to create an imprint of the Huguenot past.

The collection continues to push Bowler's fascination towards material innovation, process and craftsmanship by combining traditional techniques with a modern twist.

10th - 31st July 2015 

The Cass Bank Gallery, 59-63 Whitechapel High Street, London E1 7PF
