Emerging Fervour

I know you all loved my piece on emerging talent Fflur Owen so it brings me huge delight to write more about this lovely designer…even better, she’s given me an interview…

Sara: Since what age did you feel the urge to design?

Fflur: I have always been interested in creating, ever since I was very young.
My father is a carpenter by trade, so I guess I was bought up in quite a crafty house. One of my first memories is working with my father in his shed making little wooden objects. Both my parents have always supported what I do. They have been my inspiration along the way.
I’m one of those people that have to have something to do all the time; I’m constantly fiddling with something or other. I enjoy the process of trying to create beautiful objects out of very plain or unimaginative materials.

Sara: Nice, your pieces look like a lot of love and thought went into them – where do you get your inspiration?

Leather pieces are a must this season as I explained in my Bohemian Luxe crush entry.

Based in Chiswick, Fflur Owen has taken leather pieces to another level with laser cut leather, leather fringing and fantastic oversized accessories.

LOOK.

The dress on the right is amazing MIND-BLOWING.

I’m loving the oversized earrings on the left and slouchy bag on the right.

Fflur is a 2009 University of Westminister Fashion Graduate, who’s final collection (above) has obviously caused a positive stir in fashion world.

“Fflur Owen’s graduate collection is like lighting out for the territory – a mix of native spiritualism and natural grace. Laser cut leathers, leather fringing, over sized accessories and buffalo motif conjure up images of an American Indian landscape where the spirits of ancient animals roam freely” Dazed
