LOST PROPERTY

Her graduate collection ‘Lost Property’ is a speculative fashion collection exploring the nostalgic potency of a found object and people’s ability to create unexpected meaning from that which is forgotten. ‘Lost Property’ is a collage of unexpected meaning; about nostalgia, found objects and collage. Bonita used experimental pattern making to ignite the ethereal nature of her colleges. Each collage is printed on Belgium organic linen and she applied the unpredictable nature of design to pattern making, by draping vintage pattern pieces on the basic pattern blocks.
