[Work Experience] Felicity Brown Studio Intern July 2012 - September 2012 Erdem Sampling Room Intern January 2012 - March 2012 Ozwald Boateng Studio Intern December 2011 Roland Mouret Studio Intern July 2011 - September 2011 [Final Year Collaboration] âPlay becomes party - party becomes work - work becomes playâ ~ Bauhaus Motto A final year collaboration between menswear student, Adrien, and surface textile student, Antonia. Inspired by the Bauhaus spirit, they started with the motto in mind, then delved into their own unique background to search for things that would best define themselves. âTwo crazy minds. One passionate menswear collection.â For the pattern cutting side, Adrien developed the shape and silhouette by playing around the Bauhaus geometric aesthetic and reinventing the traditional Chinese patterns. Simple and playful are the frame of mind and the way for the printing design to shine. For the printing design side, Antonia combined the intensity of Bauhaus painting style and the excitement of light and music from her clubbing adventure to come up with strong and fanatical printing design. With both of them focusing on what excites them most and paying attention to each otherâs progress, they realised the the strength of collaboration and created a unique printed menswear collection. âNo longer can anything exist in isolation. We perceive every form as the embodiment of an idea, every piece of work as a manifestation of our innermost selves. Only work which is the product of inner compulsion can have spiritual meaning.â Walter Gropius
