The astounding unity between some of the universe's largest bodies and the building blocks of life come into full clarity in Twinkle Ferraren's latest offering for Philippine Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010.Ferraren's newest collection is a tribute to life's most significant structures: stem cells. Using them as the basis of her designs, each piece features circular images in an amalgamation of colors, prints and patterns that are flowy and continuously regenerating.
Delicate embroidery, batik painting, fabric cutting and joining techniques result in interesting textures and images that contribute to the overall impact of the collection. Vivid colors are combined with neutral shades such as cream, ecru , off-white, gray, and olive green.
Employing the use of unique materials such as native pineapple fiber, bamboo linen, shifu and incorporating them in technology-infused fabrics including jersey, silk satin, micro fiber and toray, Ferraren's collection is a subtle call to develop a heightened awareness for the state of the environment, resulting in a fascinating repertoire of pieces that are both fashionably and environmentally relevant.
