I have been in talks with Kat Marks, the wonderfully creative fashion designer, about styling her new S/ S '11 collection. I will not be posting or leaking any of her new work just yet, but I thought I should just let everyone know how talented this woman is.
Originally from Canada, Kat has moved over to London to study and complete her MA in Fashion Artefact with London College of Fashion.
She creates great pieces using leather and plastic. Her last two collections Infundibulum: Amazing Brace and Sirens of Titan have both been well received by stylists and publishers with her work being shot in prestigious publications such as Flare Magazine, Lush Magazine and also featured on Dazed Digital.
Kat Marks 'The Granfalloon'
Each of these carefully crafted pieces, as I see, play with body disfiguration, the shape and protection of the body. The solidity of the materials used for these collections create a shell and look almost harmful, whereas the shapes made and the silhouettes she forms create the femininity and sexuality of the wearer.

I have seen Kat's new work and I am really looking forward to working with her on this project and hopefully more in the future. You will just have to wait and see for further posts and the images from her new collection.
