Having Fun With Fashion

Injecting fun, art and imagination into fashion is what new young designer and stylist Hannah-Lee Jade is all about.  Her debut collection Land of Point transformed childlike imaginings into clothing sporting spikey embellishments in fabrics as diverse as cotton gingham and fluorescent silk.  And her winter collection, scheduled to be in store at 203H, La Gonda Arcade later this month promises more of the same weird but wonderful fashion statements.  “I like working with weird shapes and pattern off-cuts,” says Hannah Lee.  Pushing fashion boundaries, Japanese Harajuku girl-style, is another motivator, she says.

With ‘a crazy garden party’ theme, the new collection includes elements such as ‘armoured’ jackets, ‘grassy’ warm fabric and bold colours while a preview of the work – a clear galaxy-inspired PVC skirt - debuted on an X Factor billboard recently where it was worn by panel judge and singer Ruby Frost.

Now stocking work and labels by 13 other like-minded creatives at her shop/come workroom in the La Gonda building, including jewellery by Nick von K and Bedrock Bones and menswear by Kingdomof, Hannah-Lee hopes to continue to produce two collections annually showcasing them in collaborative parades and events in La Gonda Arcade itself.
