Venter Deform by Reece Curtis-Walwyn

 

Reece Curtis-Walwyn is a young designer from London who graduated from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication with a BA (Hons) in Womenswear Fashion. She has won awards including the Lewisham and Deptford Sewing Machine Award, Textiles Award, Young Designer to Watch, Loving your Curves Plus Size competition 2013, Own Label Graduate Fashion 2013 competition, and was also featured in Alternative Fashion Week (2014).  

Throughout Reece's collection, Venter Deform, inspiration was taken from a two-pound motto "standing on the shoulders of giants". This lead to her research into a documentary called 'A ventriloquists story: Her Masters Voice', while discovering theory and methods behind ventriloquism, influences from contortionism and understanding the body and how it can portray certain shapes in certain positions. These sources will be combined to create a women’s wear range consisting of structured, tailored garments with a twist.

As a determined individual, Reece is always up for new challenges that come her way, and is open to new opportunities and projects. 

Reece will be showcasing her collection at the Midlands Fashion Awards 2015 official launch, to be held at the Hyatt Regency on the 7th August.
