Scottish designer, Holly Fulton, who graduated in 1999 from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fashion, going on to do her MA at the Royal College of Art in London, graduating in 2007, is definitely the mistress of embellishments.
For her latest collection, shown as part of Fashion East, she has collaborated with CRYSTALLIZED Swarovski Elements to help add the extra sparkle to her stand out collection.
Needless to say, anything that is influenced by Bauhaus or "art deco on crack" will get my attention!
The shapes are very modern even though they clearly reference the 20's and 30's - so no flapper dresses in sight.
The mosaic work on her pieces are quite spectacular with laser cut perspex and massive sequins and of course lots of lovely geometric shapes. She's clearly a girl who like to celebrate clothing and it's ability to be bold and bejewelled.

the orange mini dress and yellow jacket are TO DIE FOR. any of these would look so good with your art deco necklace!

I don't really see 20s and 30s here

It's in the geometric embellishments - they are very Bauhaus/Art Deco in style.

probably very uncomfortable, but very cool nonetheless. great find!

Absolutely gorgeous. Art deco on crack is where its at!

I love the reference to the architectural design period of that era. It translates really well with the metallics and color palette.

Eyebrows are key!

I love it!

That first dress is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen I reckon. It reminds me of the great film Metropolis made in 1927.

i love the first dress...but i love those eyebrows more! they are amazing.
OHOH i second brain dance. the 1st and the 5th dress remind me of Metropolis too!
