"Sewing,
for me, is a valuable form
of creative expression
and each piece I make I
view as a work of art in
its own right. I find beauty
in the unusual, in combining
patterns and colours that
may seem unexpected. My
creations reflect my own
aesthetics, my dreams,
thoughts, books and poems
I have read and above all,
the music I listen to."
Frock
On! is run by Christelle,
a 25 year old clothing
and accessories designer/maker
currently living in Bristol,
U.K.
Inspired by designers/artists
such as Betsey Johnson
and Cindy Sherman she
discovered a passion
for experimental
sewing while studying
for her degree in 2000
- "I
was sick of seeing the
same clothes and accessories
everywhere I looked, and
I love the idea of owning
something unique that you
won't see other girls -
or boys! - wearing." She
went on to study clothes
making at the London College
of Fashion and continues
to update her skills in
a variety of techniques."There
is always something new
out there to learn and
I believe in putting my
all into every piece i
come up with." Christelle
decided to start up
her own independent
fashion label in 2007
and so Frock On! was
born.
Her pieces are a heady
concoction of luxurious
fabrics and bold retro
prints, a head on collision
of psychedelic neon dreamscapes
and vintage glamour. Think
the Merry Pranksters meets
Blanche DuBois.
