SADIE CLAYTON SADIE CLAYTON COLLECTIONS CONCEPT HEADSPACE

At the heart of what I do, I am a sculptural designer taking inspiration from the idea of headspace and the concept of time. Two continuous themes throughout my collections which this season I have explored further by embracing the visual representation of my work through the use of holographic technology and lighting to depict the speeds at which we live various moments in our life, frenetic chaos to stillness and peace of mind.

My signature bombers have been enhanced in my Spring / Summer 2017 collection by working with new textiles including latex in collaboration with Kim West and new tonal embroidery and embossing techniques. As well as developing on a bomber theme, I have taken these essential properties and also expanded the range to develop into parkas.

I always work within the parallel world of as Art especially in my current Spring / Summer 2017 under the umbrella of Ownership - the progression through our lives of owning and being owned in the same way as a piece of art or clothing can change hands. How at moments in time we are being observed or revered on a plinth or on a wall by many, and other times when we are protected in intimate, private environments.
