For her ‘Warrior‘ SS09 Collection (black), Samantha interpretation through her work represented a darker more aggressive collection with harder edges, structured layering and inspiration drawn from modern architecture not built from indulgence but reminiscent of medieval buildings; powerful, sobering and stark.
Inspiration was drawn from Kate Beckinsale in “UNDERWORLD” meets Tina Turner in “MADMAX” sprinkled with Jane Fonda in “BARBARELLA” set against a futuristic backdrop.
A combination of these female characters and what they represented in strength, determination an independence without losing their femininity was the point behind the collection…

Samantha Cole London is an Award wining Contemporary British designer. She received Best Womenswear Designer at NY Fashion Week for her ss09 collection. Cole draws influence from modern day trends (Geometric Architecture…) without completely relying on it for the direction and purpose of her collections. Definitely a designer to watch!
For her ‘A new Dawn‘ AW10 collection (white) her structure was inspired by the sophisticated styling of Post-Modern Architecture. The textured shapes formed within the fabric were inspired by the details found in Geometric Architecture. The technique used to create these shapes is known as “Smocking” The fabrics used in the collection were Silk mixes, Cotton, Muslin, Jersey and Leather.

I like the new S/S 2012 collection. Appreciating this collection gives me a feeling as if going into a wild worl. The long flowing pastel skirts are very attracitive.2
I love the earrings!3
this is too cool! i would love a room full of these illustrations4
I tend to be less is more as well. The exception is when someone is a master of using colour and textures and this is a perfect example. Olio by Marilyn5
great pictures!!! wonderful!!!xxxxxxxxhttp://3maigloeckchen.blogspot.de6
ooh I love the techno inspired hair7
Indeed , these images are messing with my head . i cant figure out is it seduction or curiosity .8
Fusing glass is a whole lot of fun and having your own kiln rather than having to rent kiln time can make it much more enjoyable.9
Beautiful! Has inspired me to tackle a neon x pastel outfit....pared with the palest Irish skin? Now that's what one calls a challenge!10
très fort et très beau
