All Day I Dream About Stitches


Uniform at ground level. #1

Meet April, a literal fashion school dropout. Gone are the days when she roamed the corridors of the prestigious London College of Fashion, where her follicles would be enveloped deep in lookbooks and fabric samples but FF three years and all this has been replaced with latex gloves and a passion for the pensioner.

From sketchbooks...to textbooks.

April is a youthful Flo Nightingale on a crash course to A&hEaven. Fortunately for me, the bloodied apron and theatre moccasins were tossed aside in favour of a surprisingly super-sized Jeremy Scott creation, when I managed to pap her.

The agile garm is obviously versatile, either worn on its own as an ill-fitting dress or depending on the wearers torso, a collaboration fused together as a hodge-poged ensemble.
Designed from an abundance of black jersey, fashioned into a T-design, with front lace panelling to reveal the wearers flesh, and a sequin embroidered iconic Adidas logo. Although the piece is constructed from very fragile fabrics, which insinuate feminine traits, the figure and silhouette of the design are very flexible in terms of sexuality and would equally benefit from a stronger masculine frame.

From stitching seems to stitching wounds. April has still shown that regardless of her change in profession, she still carries a torch for her prior craft.
