ELLIE BOLTON 

A range of ethereal fabrics for fashion based on deep oceans and marine life.  

Ellie has looked to the depths of the ocean to source surreal pattern shapes from a range of creatures and plant formations found within the dark spaces of the sea. Illuminated with life these creatures offer a wealth of pattern references for fashion fabrics and scarves. 

Hand drawn illustrations of jellyfish, plankton, shells and other forms have been scaled up to create dynamic fabrics, printed using dye sublimation processes onto synthetic fabrics, which when layered and lit from within give an experience of the sea. Printed fabrics have been heat set through fabric manipulation processes, offering 3D applications.
