Every Surface Speaks
Olivia Sinclair
This graduate collection by Olivia Sinclair investigates the expressive possibilities of surface design through diverse print techniques, including devoré, digital printing, and sublimation. Drawing inspiration from Charleston House in Firle, renowned for its richly adorned interiors filled with paintings and textiles, the collection captures the immersive quality of a space where every surface tells a story. Each garment mirrors the layered, decorative atmosphere of Charleston, transforming clothing into canvases that echo the house’s ethos of art in every corner.
