Magpie Collection

This is the story of Aisha Watson's graduate collection, from start to finish and beyond...

inspired by the golden ratio (the mathematical equation for life and growth) this collection has been heavily informed by the muse, Marchesa luisa casati.

All work is aisha's own, unless otherwise stated.

Women of the world today all dress alike. They are like so many loaves of bread. To be beautiful one must be unhurried. Personality is needed. There is too much sameness. The world seems to have only a desire for more of this sameness. To be different is to be alone.”
- The Marchesa Luisa Casati

Toiling smooth curves…

“The door to the room where we sat chatting suddenly opened. A dead woman entered. Her superb body was modelling a dress of white satin that was wrapped around her like a shroud and dragged behind her. A bouquet of orchids hid her breast. Her hair was red and her complexion livid like alabaster. Her face was devoured by two enormous eyes, whose black pupils almost overwhelmed her mouth painted a red so vivid that it seemed like a strip of coagulated blood. In her arms, she carried a baby leopard. It was the Marchesa Casati.”
