ART DECO WITH A TWIST This collection mixes old with new: It takes a new approach to Art Deco design and blends it with the latest technological elements. Delan was inspired by his grandfathers carpentry skills and spent much of his teenage years with him in his Swiss workshop watching him bending plywood into smooth, warm curves. These shapes have stayed with him ever since - the influence of which can be seen in the plywood soles; a new component that pushes the traditional boundaries of shoe making. Another important aspect of the project draws upon the influence of Art Deco; a period that represents the transition of the overwhelming shapes of Art Nouveau to the minimal lines of the Bauhaus movement. This design concept is a perfect fit for this collection, where the femininity of the curves accommodates the natural organic shapes that a wearable shoe requires. This collection brings Art Deco into the present to create a contemporary design vision. The materials wood, leather and aluminium once again blend the past with the present where traditional materials meet the latest mechanical methodologies. A nostalgia for the past is further evoked by the muted autumn colours of the three leathers. A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO: Herbert Briers Keable at CS Keable / rhino3d.ch Erhard Gysin and the Bally Shoe Factories Ltd. Jürg Mock & Heiner Albicker at Hess & Co. Jürg Feissli at Berner Fachhochschule BFH Bienne ABOUT RAPHAÃL DELAN: Even though he made his first pair of bespoke shoes more than twenty years ago, there were some distractions along the way: Raphaël Delan worked as a professional DJ and event organiser eventually becoming marketing consultant for Swiss media group Tamedia Ltd. In 1999, he opened his own record shop which became a defining platform at the forefront of the Swiss music-, event- and club scene. A decade later, Delan finally pursued his long desired career to design womenâs footwear and moved to London to study MA Fashion Footwear Design at London College of Fashion. Delanâs collaborative approach won him sponsorship from three companies, including BALLY with whom he developed his final project. He aims to combine design knowledge with his broad understanding of business and brand development. Raphaël Delan also regularly lectures in Sound Design at the University of Applied Science in Bern, Switzerland.

âInto Smithereensâ (2012) My practice has been formed by a strong fascination for delicately hand-crafted textiles, sophisticated finishes on artisanal pieces and dainty, ornate detailing. A deep admiration for the elaborate performance of traditional craftsmanship and the attention that is put into garments made by hand, influenced me to develop an own approach, that links the detailed complexity of decorative crafts in a direct way to the construction of the garment. Into Smithereens is a series of eight sculptural womenswear silhouettes, focussing on a personal enhancement of the decorative craft of âMacraméâ in combination with soft leather qualities. The aim was to fully grasp the properties of both of those elements and to challenge their common, mostly two-dimensional use. In doing so, daring shapes and hybrid-solutions in between pattern cutting and three-dimensional knotting emerged. The silhouettes and shapes are formed by the interplay of movement in between body and dress, creating architectural shapes and almost topographical heights& depths. The incorporated, spatial constructions offer features for suspending and merging arms and hair into the garments, allowing body and garment to intertwine. All garments are carefully crafted, each leather band cut separately and every knot hand-tied. The final voluminously bold appearance and weight, stands in a fascinating contrast to the dozens of fine, detailed knots each piece is built of. I took inspiration from traditional folkloristic garments from my birthplace Romania and the artisanal context they are produced in. This can be seen in the use of material, choice of technique, as well as the design of the garments. This collection also may show, that historic crafts or the common use of the material leather can still be explored in original and contemporary ways. Picking up on traditional approaches and combining loose ends in unusual ways created new solutions that go beyond previous references.

BA (Hons) Fashion Illustration
Scarlett Giannakou -Currently studying fashion illustration at London college of fashion on my final year. Previous experience in Textiles/Art & Design and Fashion E-commerce I mainly drawn hand rendered pieces using pencil, tonal, watercolour, colouring pencils and inks. I would say my work is a mix of all my favourite designers/illustration in one pot! Of course David Downton, Esra Roise, Richard Gray and Kelly Smith. I also like to incorporate photography within illustrations, that I have taken. My inspiration is mainly from my surroundings - nature playing the biggest part. Especially animals such as horses and birds but also leaves, flowers and wood grains. I love the free element of nature and feel this when I myself draw. I also adore going out and about in London with my camera and street scouting for inspirational dress or characters. I am very passionate about fashion illustration and it has resonated within me from a very young age; from when my Grandma gave me a bridal catalogue. I used to copy the dresses everyday- my passion for dress started there and has developed into my obsession.

Woven high heels, a gaze at traditions to resignify the ritual and beauty of craftsmanship. Craftsmanship embodies the hand and mind of the people who create it. It is a testimony to the beauty and inheritance of the traditions, being one of the duties that still remain with its distinguishing trait of being passed down through familial generations. Nowadays, the caliber of quality and details in traditional handcrafting is rarely seen. Within industrialization and mass production, craftsmanship has been less appreciated and its quality and details have deteriorated. This approach rejects the uniformity and repetitivness of mass production, where the imperfection of the craft process is usually thought of as a failure. Accordingly, weaving is the main theme of this collection, where craftsmanship has been rethought. Creating a contemporary image that invites us to visit the past in order to glimpse the future has been achieved by modernizing traditional techniques and accessing the latest technologies. The design process started by developing experimental pieces, conniving traditional footwear, weaved patterns and 3d printing. The aesthetic enhances the weightlessness of female body, creating the illusion of hanging from a net, tying the feet down and bearing the netting into a three dimensionality. It pursues long and thin shapes while the bodyâs expression plays to be restricted, appearing fragile and instable from a podium that empowers it. Since the costs are extremely high, the collection could not be completely made. I have decided to conclude my masterâs project with a digital representation and keep working on them as a personal process with the collaboration of Eichenberger.

MA Fashion Artefact
Annelie Gross D E F E C T S The Master Collection 'DEFECTS' has a very strong personal approach: Growing up in a family of orthopedic technicians and prostheses constructors, I was raised in a spirit to assist human bodies, that were not blessed by nature with a perfectly functioning body. This background left an essential impact on me and fostered my knowledge and interest in unusual (body) shapes, special materials and in my method of operation. At the age of 6 I started to do gymnastics. Gymnastics is said to be a rough sports, hard to your bones and joints. In contradiction to an orthopedics attitude towards health, I became a competing gymnast. From a quite early stage in my life I started training my body and by doing this specific sports also bringing it into uncomfortable positions. Whereas the unnatural, but required poses in gymnastics and dance appear attractive, the unnatural positions of a body caused by illness or deformity carry a feeling of uncomfort. This intersection between a rather sensual movement and something so similar, that gives you the very opposite feeling, made me choose the body positions, that my artefacts are created around. They are mix between elegance and outlandishness. For my MA project, I created a collection of 8 Artefacts, which still have an orthopedic background, but they explore further freedoms beyond the piecesâ functionality. The Artefacts distort and restrict the body and by that cause the very opposite of what is meant to be healthy. A phenomena, which is often seen in fashion. Within this project, I challenged the current ideas of orthotics and fashion and I want the betrayer to see beyond the unpleasant.
