Design Inspiration | Project de. III XV

A common touchstone for my inspiration is architecture. My current obsession is with the Bishop Edward King Chapel, in Oxford, England. The talented architects of Niall McLaughlin who relish unexpected juxtapositions also use light as a key design element. The structural details and use of natural light in this chapel inspired two new garments for Project de. Click here for a sneak peek.

Taking inspiration from the architecture of the Bishop Edward King Chapel, I designed a white linen, open back shirt with adjustable sleeves. I left the edges raw so as the linen softens with wear, the hems will become perfectly deconstructed. I love the idea of this garment evolving through wear.
