"The starting point is to consider that each garment must have a powerful identity. Then comes inspiration, lots of different fabrics and books. Felicity doesnt create using the pc or drawing sketches, she starts by draping like the first time she was regarded as a real designer: it was while working at Alberta Ferretti when she was given carte blanche with an invitation to express her own creativity.
Style keywords
"If I had to describe my collections using keywords, Id say: hand-dyed and printed, shapes building, fabric manipulation." Distancing herself from mainstream trends, the designer plays with fabrics and colours creating drapes that look and feel very natural but are in fact the result of a meticulous process.
Inspiration
"The S/S 2012 collection is inspired by Victorian ladies and is injected with tribal elements. Broadly speaking, her work in inspired by the arts and anthropology: before tribal decorations, she used the lines and colours typical of the masks from Central America.
Her advice to young designers
