Shakilah Noori and Sophie Hoepelman from the University of East London (UEL) presented their collection at Graduate Fashion Week (GFW) 2012.
UEL graduates Shakilah Noori and Sophie Hoepelman’s collaborative collection was inspired by contrasting social classes in 19th Century Russia. The collection is entitled 'Tsaritsa' and features extravagant embellishment and colourful patterns contrastively taken from traditional peasant clothing.
