Drawn to the luxury feel of these references, Faye also questions the attraction they have. Ultimately, this project is not about judging whether 'the glamour of excess' is something to be celebrated or frowned upon. It is about awareness, knowing where our desires come from. Knowing the difference between what we need and what we want, but also indulging in the pleasure luxury affords us. Faye's graduate collection is a show of sophisticated luxury and modern comfort and this is reflected in the materials and finishings that are used.
