Collection by Emma Walsh

A Futuristic looking collection by Emma Walsh

As a graduate whose work was nominated for the Stuart Peters Visionary Knitwear Award, you can expect only the best from Emma Walsh.

Her collection is very innovative and modern looking. With yellow and grey tones and a series of interesting shapes on her designs, there is something very futuristic looking about Walsh’s collection.

Indeed, the mix of grey, yellow and silver tones reminds one of outer space. In particular, a white jumpsuit with silver knee-holes and wedges is evocative of an outfit that one might wear to space!

Simple clean lines

Not only is the colour palette of Walsh’s clothing kept simple, but the lines are also kept simple.

The forms of the collection are vertical and not overcomplicated. This is shown in the collection pieces which consist of a white jumper and grey legging combination.

As a result of the simplicity of the designs, this is a collection to which a lot of people could relate to and imagine wearing.

For me, pieces such as the grey leggings have an especially appealing look because they remind me of Stella McCartney trousers!

Collection by Emma Walsh from Nottingham Trent University, GFW2012.

Walsh’s collection is right up to date with the OVERSIZE trend

The length of the dresses and coat in the collection reflect the Autumn Winter 12/13 oversize trend well.

The shapes are very flat, with a very straight up straight down appearance. This is a look which is seen time and time again in the masculine tailoring of this season.

One striking piece in Walsh’s collection is the oversize pockets on the long jacket.

They are in a word BIG and encourage us to try something new by having oversized pockets. They will certainly be more practical for storing phones, tissues etc. than the typically small pockets you get on clothing items!

Emma Walsh has a very exciting and definitive style

It seems that as a designer Emma Walsh has a very definitive style. She has kept to the same palette, lines and futuristic feel throughout her collection.

Overall, the collection is innovative and it predicts a Futuristic style which will begin to infiltrate fashion in the modern age.
