Quanta Cory

This collection is a celebration of retro 1980’s technology. The unique, unlikely materials repurposed for this collection, along with recycled rich velvet’s and tightly woven denims are heavily associated with this era and bring with them a nostalgic quality. The combination of metallic foils, bold bright vinyl prints and EL wire lights bring a modern twist to the garments. Silhouettes taken from the 80’s, such as the classic high-necked shell suit and wide legged flares alongside oversized sleeves and recycled computer parts add personality to the collection. The colour palette relies heavily on the fact that all fabric is recycled; resulting in mix-matched colour juxtapositions, a combination of rich reds, deep blues, subtle pinks and contrasting bottle greens. The main fabrics are closely accompanied by colours associated with circuit boards, also present as highlight colours. The garments are carefree and fun, reflecting the positivity of the 1980’s through the use of carefully misplaced and layered foil and vinyl prints, representing the complexity of circuit boards.
