ZOE WALKER

Zoe Walker a Fashion Design with Business Studies Graduate specialises in Womenswear focusing on draping and shape development. Her Graduate collection was an ever evolving exploration of shape, experiemntal drape and pattern cutting. Taking initial inspiration from Traditional African dress making techniques of folding twisting and pleating fabric Zoe spent months working on the stand fusing these processes with flat pattern cutting and expereimental appraches to shape making. British sculpture also formed a key reference point in Zoes' work. The work of Henry Moore, Barbara hepworth and Bernard Meadows all influenced her developemnt and exploration of shape significantly. Zoes' first collection is of muted neutral tones to draw the eye not to the colours or surface details but to the soft sesual shapes, light and shadow created by the fabric on the female body.
