HEDONISM orginating from the ancient greek meaning for pleasure, a movement that revolved around the idealism that “only pleasure or pain motivates us” (Stanford 2013).

Made from a mixed medium of fabrics including Drizabone, suede, denim and leather this collection implements layers and detailed silhouettes. The implementation of weather/ water proof fabrications allows these statements pieces to be suited to various different audiences while also being ethically sourced.

The hero garment follows a cropped fitted top and maxi skirt featuring belts that dettach with functionality using zips and buckles.

Look Two features a fitted maxi dress silhouette with a layered mini dress.

The Details follow fabric manipulation on the panels of the lower half of the dress that can be unzipped to form a flared silhouette.

The Pants and Top featured on Look three follow a silimar utalitarian aesthetic that allows for the front of pants to disconnect showcasing a different fabric underneath.

The Hedonist collection challenges the concept of layers to the mind but also the ideas of restraint versuses functionality.
