Sarracenias are carnivorous plants. Insects are attracted by a glistening fluid that is excreted from the top of the trumpet. But the inner surface of the trumpet is slippery and insects fall from it to drown in the fluid at the bottom. There their bodies are digested.
David Attenborough
This collection is a subtle take on natural studies of the botanical world, through historical illustrative plates. Spring Summer 2009 begins with an innocent and curious glimpse, which under scrutiny exposes a more ominous existence. Nature’s glorious anarchy.
Steph Aman will be presenting her 6th collection at On|Off during London Fashion Week, 16th -18th September and Atmosphere during Paris Fashion Week, 3rd - 6th October.
The collection is comprised of free-drawn machine embroidery and hand-produced cutwork, all with meticulous attention to detail.
All the designs are 100% pure silk, chiffon, tulle, habotai, satin and jersey. Shades of aubergine, slate, pearl, chestnut with highlights of iridescent creatures.
