AFW 2013 - Katie Sharp & Zoey Cumming

I spent a great time watching fashion shows of well known fashion designers from
Northern Scotland last weekend at Copthorne Hotel in Aberdeen.
The Aberdeenshire Fashion Week started on Saturday the 27th at 11 am and finished
on Sunday evening on the next day. I worked there as photographer and  journalist,
so I could see the whole event also from backstage, which was quite a nice experience.
I watched loads of talented young artists, stylist, hairdressers and make-up artists helping
that weekend to make the wish come true.Lydia Kemunto - the organizer and founder
of AFW worked even more hard to put over such a fashionable phenomena in Aberdeen.
The results of months of arrangements were great like for the first time.
We could witness a professional organization and very talented fashion designers presenting
their individual collections on a catwalk. Next Fashion Week is planned to be organized
in October 2013. I strongly belive that this event will be continued every season and it will
develop one day to such an event like London Fashion Week!! ;-)
I present you a schedule of first day of AFW and photos of Katie's Sharp
and Zoey's Cumming collections!
Hope you will enjoy their style and you will come to the next Fasion Shows in Autum!

Katie Sharp
Graduating student showcases her final year collection after studying Fashion&Textiles
at Heriot Watt University. During this period she gained experience whilst attending
Central Saint Martins and more recently interning for top Belgium designer
- Ann Demeulemeester.

Collection
The use of luxurious brocades and striking leathers come from the mixture
of textiles worn by Japanese Geisha's. Re-inventing the kimono into something
modern and wearable became the design for the silhouettes. Each garment does
not have a specific size as it is to be worn with confidence and ease.
The collection should make you reconsider how you look at things and it turn
make you aware of how you see clothes and the subject of sex.

Zoey Cumming 
A recent graduate from Aberdeen's Gray School of Art.

Kalamaty
The main collection of latex and recycled rubber garments and accessories, demonstrates
a pioneering approach to design for today's ecological climate with a sustainable attitude
to fashion design by using clever cutting, zero waste policy and some recycling, while at the
same time creating something dynamic and unique. Inspired by music festivals, where fashion
design is a free-for-all to self-indulge. During the design process Zoey developed a number
of techniques to achieve a variety of textured textiles such as weave, fringing and print-on latex.
