Work from Marit Fujiwara's final collection 'Wound'
Seems like it isn’t taking long for our 2009 graduates to start making a name for themselves. BA (Hons) Textile Design graduate Marit Fujiwara’s final collection is the subject of an article in the latest Style Bubble blog. Susie Bubble, who was named among the Evening Standard’s ‘London’s most influential’ in the Fashion category, writes:
Look, look closer, rub your eyes a bit if you have sleep/sweat and look again. I took literally blinked at those detailed shots and then started bemoaning and wailing into the sky shouting “Why god? Why am I such a talentless melting potato?” This is mind bogglingly detailed work to a crazy level that is probably above and beyond the call of a graduate trying to get their work noticed. This is a collection that I imagine being done by a minute perfectionist where one strand can’t be out of place and the colours of the threads have to go in a specific order so as to not upset the balance. This is where shapes of garments can be chucked out of the window because the kind of textile work going on is so intricate, with a supreme level of depth and innovation (not that Marit’s shapes are poor anyway…). She labels some of her images as ‘cake’ and the reference is not lost when you think of the devastating anal precision that goes into a patissier’s work… these are in fact probably the clothing equivalent of Antonin Carême’s creations (just re-read his bio…too good).
