There is so much to see at New Designers every year that it can sometimes be difficult to keep to the parameters I set myself, although going round the show on my own helps me stay focused.
Loughborough graduate Petra Baker exhibited a tightly edited and mature collection of exquisitely made pieces using only black and grey. The organza hanging looks three-dimensional in this photograph yet is almost completely flat.
Deceptively simple in appearance, this is carefully considered work. Petra is thinking that automotive textiles may be something to explore – some of the luxury brands could be very interested.
