Laura Thomas is an independent fashion designer, stylist and illustrator specialising in hand painted leather, chain-mail, knit and print. Her love of drawing and painting portraits translates into graphic style prints which are carefully hand painted onto leather. Handmade chain-mail complements the use of leather to bring her punk inspired designs to life. Laura studied Fashion Design at De Montfort University in Leicester and graduated in June 2013.

Pretty in Punk

The project is based around plastic beauty and falsified modification. This lead onto the distortion of perceived beauty by considering melting plastic which formed the bases for the print designs. My muse for this project is a rock chick with attitude, a bit of a punk at heart with a carefree relaxed way of dressing. She loves leather and chains and because she is an extrovert she doesn't shy away from bold prints. All the leather garments are hand painted and the chainmail is hand made.
