BA (Hons) Fashion Design - Rebecca Head 2012

Quote from Phoenix Magazine http://www.phoenixmag.co.uk/fashion/graduate-fashion-week-2012-bath-spa-university/

The Bath Spa show ended with Rebecca Head’s ‘1/600’ collection as inspired by her diagnosed Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease. Using her surely difficult experience for a positive gain, Rebecca was inspired by how Gaucher affects select few body organs to create a collection that focussed on and flirted with shape, silhouette and proportion. Slim outlines with oversized areas around the chest and sleeves were livened up with floral inserts in popping shades of blue, orange, green and yellow. The collection opened and closed to applauding cheers which is obvious testimony to Rebecca Head’s clear talent and how inspiration can stem from the most unlikely causes.
