Daniela D'Amico is a womenswear designer launching her collection for Autumn Winter 14/15. After graduating from Chelsea College of Art with a BA in Textiles in 2011, Daniela went on to work for Selina Blow as head of design studio before setting up her own label this year.
The collection is inspired by her ancestral home of Lake Como, Italy, comprising her trademark of exquisitely designed textiles working in conjunction with a tailored womenswear collection which is inclusive of coats, jackets and separates.
Each piece from the collection works harmoniously with the fabric to produce a combination of mannish silhouettes merged with feminine softness of romantic prints. Each garment is expressive of its own story with an artifice of movement and carefully considered positional designs structured to the body, the shapes serve to lengthen the body, influenced by androgynous tailoring combined with feminine soft textures.
