Above you see my Spring /summer high fashion collection Using a variety of printed Designs from Hand-illustrated to the unusual scans of intricate laces...which have then been abstracted.

○ Summer H .a .z. e. ○_Printed pattern available in two colour ways !!

  The Pattern was inspired by the Miro's Ideas and the way in which

 he "took the pen for a walk"..

I have then combined more metalic looking solid shapes to create a

slight geometric contrast.
