Collaboration with Fashion Designer Renata Brenha.

 

The two main pieces included a screen-printed smocked skirt, which was designed, hand-painted and then tried and tested to ensure the print could be engineered to stretch to the right capacity to be visually correct after smocking. 

​

The second piece was a checked dress inspired by a skirt documented in the Frida Kahlo's wardrobe archive- seen by Renata in Mexico and later exhibited at the V&A. The aim was to create a distorted check that resembled the original wear of the skirt and to use screen printing to create this worn texture in an unconventional way. 

​

The skirt from the collaboration was then used in an editorial shoot and printed in Portuguese Vogue, as pictured below.
