About me

My name is Emma Charlotte Ramsden and I have recently graduated from the Manchester Metropolitan University with a 1st Class Honours Degree in BA Hons Fashion Design and Technology Womenswear. I depicted my inner soul, desires and decadence within my Final Collection. "Life is about living and loving. I believe women have a unique opportunity to

emulate their life and spirit in the garments they wear. An opportunity to reveal

their inner glamour and femme fatale."

My inner compassions illustrated through every inch of delicate, silky satin and

rainbowed organza extravagantly designed printed fabric through the art of collage, taking

inspirational reference from 1930's Old Hollywood to 1970's Biba and depicting 1970's Vogue archive editorial shoots featuring the most exotic locations from Moroccan mountain tops to opulent interiors amongst original floral photography. Each collaged pattern pieces

depicting a fragment of the designer's personality, providing a sneak peek into her lavish dreams of lounging on pink velvet chaise longue draped in water falling layers of lavish crystallised jewellery, smelling fragrant pink roses whilst sipping brightly coloured, playful cocktails. Her designs radiate confidence, showing the world her most magnificent self, whilst, the fabrication emulates her dainty, flora persona.

Embellishments constructed from delicate hues of powder pinks, taupe, gold,

crystals, pearls and beading describing her soft nature encircle the contrasting bright pink

giant gems, jewels and sequins intricately hand stitched onto gold hanging sequin fabric

and printed satin complementing the silhouettes of the garments. The oversized

bright pink floral hand-stitched embellishments add a luscious statement to the lovingly hand constructed garments.

The ultimate inner designer goddess is radiated through the collection, so shimmering

that sunglasses are needed to gaze upon the final garments. The designer envisions

Paloma Faith fashioning the embellished pieces. The gold sequinned jumpsuits and dresses

swaying to every poised movement of a live performance. The sequins dancing and

loving life as much as the wearer within.

I wish to gain knowledge working for the high-end designer and haute couture market level which is an area in which I strive to work for. I would like to further my knowledge in working with hand finishes, hand embellishments and hand embroideries with the finest of fabrics and sequins. Furthermore, it will allow me to gain experience in the designing process, seeking inspiration from historical sources then translating my discoveries in modern interpretations through draping, pattern cutting and technical finishes.

My ambition is to work amongst the high-end designers and haute couture designers around the world as a further love of mine is travelling, embracing and experiencing new cultures, which working in the fashion industry would allow me to do.
