    Work method

    "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 ordrawing 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 withfabrics 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.
