New silk scarf collection by Gemma Land
British Artist Gemma Land has been working on her long awaited second collection of photographic print silk scarves. ‘Strawberry Hill: Part 1’, is a series of monochrome prints of London’s much-loved Strawberry Hill House. The collection is due to be presented at Capsule for Paris fashion week at the beginning of October 2011 and they are to be launched under her own name label.
Land’s background is in Fine Art Photography graduating from the much-acclaimed MA at London College of Communication. Her style is unique, fusing her photographic art with the function of scarves; she likes to play with architecture and often uses symmetry to create impossible structures and hallucinogenic patterns. Her aesthetic lies between the romantic and the gothic, creating beautiful and yet often somewhat unsettling imagery. She will be aiming to push the photographic print in fashion to new directions, whilst also exhibiting her artwork in galleries internationally.
