Kelly Gilbert
Kelly Gilbert presents her first full collection from her London College of Fashion MA degree. With print as a starting point, this AW collection titled ‘Soundsitive’ takes inspiration from the geometry of sound combining the aesthetics of clarity and clashes of error. The silhouette takes on a minimalist perspective, allowing bold and sophisticated prints to sing atop a strong and simple canvas. A nod to the 1970s recognizes the growing importance of nostalgia, authenticity and the real. Draped moiré jackets, cozy digitally knitted sweaters and body-con zipped dresses contrast with mesh fabrics, crisp tailored shirts, skirts and trousers. The mix and matched approach to the separates gives a utilitarian foundation in contrast to the collections geometric and kinetic moiré patterns. British born and based Kelly Gilbert graduated
