Designers: Jenna Gibson

Jenna Gibson is a printed textiles designer and has recently graduated from Buckinghamshire Chilterns with Honours. She then went onto doing a MA at Royal college of Art and graduated this year (2010). Gibson is an up and coming designer with a fresh appeal to many different audience’s, some past experience is where she assisted Alexandra McQueen during her education.
This collection is her most recent, autumn / winter 2010. When looking at the form of the dresses they are free flowing that don’t have any harsh “full stops” within them, this makes them feel elegant in form then you look at the hand printed silk screen pattern and realise a completely new edge.
‘Transition of light using gradients to illustrate suggested form and structure within the context of the body’. This is a quote that Gibson herself used to describe her work. She then went onto say that ‘Construction and architecture’ were her main influences for this collection.




I personally really like these dresses i feel like they can be worn by there self and you can look amazing!! This is because of the complexity of the patterns, it still feels calm because of the colours used but because of the 'multiple layers'.
