Vol. 3 : Modern Armor for Modern Times

Amy Thompson

Her idea of a muted-neon color palette is a fresh approach to summer color. This is juxtaposed to the transparent, futuristic, armor-like pieces that manipulate and exaggerate the shape of the body. It is this balance of opposing forces that creates a strong tension in these statement pieces.

This collection has delicate and otherworldly feel. The translucent qualities of the polypropylene armor ads softness to the graphic prints, which remind me of Mondrian’s linear, color blocked canvases.

I find her use of unconventional materials intriguing, especially when their natural properties complement the design process.

Amy Thompson is certainly one to watch

Until next time…
