Guest Artist: Jenny Hardcastle

Season:         Summer 2011

Contribution & Acknowledgment:
It is my pleasure to introduce to you one of the guest artists for the Summer 2011 collection; Her name is Jenny Hardcastle and owns a beautiful brand of draped and sculpted evening wear based in the North West of England. Jenny has created three bespoke styles for the season, inspired by the ‘serenity in Renaissance’ mood. I hope you enjoy these magnificent pieces and appreciate the technical expertise that is required to create such intricate designs as I do!

The Collection:
A beautiful women’s evening wear collection evolved from over 8 years of practising the art of draping and three-dimensional cutting. 
 Like the sculptures of Ancient Greece the material that is used lends itself to the work. The collection is crafted with skin-skimming jersey that’s folds and gathers to create soft fluid curves, gentle volume and dramatic drapes.
 These feminine silhouettes evoke thoughts of Grecian romance and 1930’s elegance, which combine to create shapes that will last forever and become what can only be described as…………..Timeless.

Designer Bio:
Her career in fashion started when she was 16 years old working part-time for a couture bridal designer/maker while studying. She completed a degree in Fashion Design, worked for two British labels and won a European competition before launching her own label. 
 More than a designer and a dressmaker………………Jenny Hardcastle is a sculptor of fabric.
