Fashion Class of 2021 Showcase Book
Making a Statement with Style! Whilst the majority of other Design Universities remain online with digital collections, Marbella Design Academy Fashion graduates of June 2021 stepped out in style with a live Fashion Catwalk event at the Academy on Friday 7 May. Attended by a select audience of local industry leaders and media, and a few close family and friends, the Fashion students showed their final collections under the beautiful blue sunny sky of Andalucia. Taking advantage of the open spaces of the Academy´s beautiful terrace, the models showed off the creations at this much anticipated event. It was a considerable achievement and a fitting culmination to three years of study, facing down the challenges of the pandemic. The Academy was determined to maintain tuition schedules and access to workshop facilities and resources as far as possible, so that students could produce and show a physical final collection. We are incredibly proud of all of our Fashion students; they have all been working extremely hard in the fashion studios at the Academy, supported by our fantastic team of dedicated Fashion tutors. As the Fashion business, a core industry of our modern society, tackles post pandemic challenges, our Fashion students have shown that with passion anything is still possible and that they are more than ready to join this professional world. Well done to all involved!

It is a feminine proposal for the next spring / summer.<br />
The collection is inspired by Victorian aesthetics, through which<br />
various elements such as volumes and ruffles have been selected<br />
to translate it into the garments, with the idea <strong>of</strong> creating very<br />
feminine, elegant but casual garments at the same time.<br />

Tales <strong>of</strong><br />
Hope<br />
The collection is a gender free collection made <strong>of</strong> sustainable,<br />
recycled and eco-friendly materials.<br />
Its prints and fabric manipulations have got their direct<br />
inspiration from humpback whales. Unfortunately, commercial<br />
fishing, cargo shipping and people’s indifference are threats to<br />
whales and oceans. This fact gives the serious and fragile mood<br />
for the collection. The deep ocean gave the tones which are rich<br />
but neutral like the garments itself.<br />

Wabi-Sabi<br />
A stand against the relentless pursuit <strong>of</strong> perfection, a tacit<br />
appreciation <strong>of</strong> things imperfect. Women’s ready-to-wear<br />
collection, a feminine touch with asymmetrical silhouettes<br />
instigating the peace in imperfections whilst un-wounding the<br />
whirlpool <strong>of</strong> negative thoughts. While encouraging acceptance<br />
and seeing the beauty in things flawed, the neutral earthy tones<br />
and colours retain the carefree commonplace making the pieces<br />
a reflection <strong>of</strong> virtues <strong>of</strong> the wearer.<br />

that lives is<br />
dying<br />
A unisex/menswear collection exploring the distortion and<br />
deformities <strong>of</strong> human body, male nudity and the rejection<br />
<strong>of</strong> the classical norms <strong>of</strong> beauty basically focused on the art<br />
and psychology <strong>of</strong> Egon Schiele. The collection is featuring<br />
bizarre, exaggerated and sexually suggestive silhouettes with<br />
asymmetrical stitches, unproportionally lines and cracked<br />
finishing completed with mostly sombre colours that depicting<br />
sickness, inner-self, frustration and angst.<br />

Off the grid<br />
The 90’s fashion aesthetics generated a unisex collection that<br />
creates unity, clarity and enlightenment. This gathering is a rapid<br />
flow <strong>of</strong> emotions that are interpreted into sophisticated garments<br />
to reassure a relatable viewpoint <strong>of</strong> life itself. Applying the 90’s<br />
techno and post-punk music as inspiration as well as the 1997<br />
film “Nowhere”. This collection is for all the melomaniacs who<br />
can´t run away from the sound <strong>of</strong> their speakers in desire to lose<br />
control and dance!<br />

The colour<br />
Diana Dillner<br />
<strong>of</strong> illusion is<br />
perfect blue<br />
Feminine proposal for the following Spring / Summer. Perfect<br />
blue is inspired by the 90’s movie with the same name, is an<br />
allegory made to the constant exploration <strong>of</strong> perception <strong>of</strong><br />
our identity, sexuality and beauty. It remains us that there are<br />
perfect days, that even if it rains or not (meaning that there are<br />
problems or not) you can have a day since the sky is perfect blue<br />
that encourages you to keep living.<br />

Jardin de<br />
fleurs<br />
This is a Spring/Summer collection inspired by Impressionism<br />
where artists look at the world with freshness and immediacy that<br />
represents light after darkness. The designer channels Covid-19<br />
related mentalities, difficulties and predicts the bright future<br />
where everyone will spend more time in natural surroundings<br />
and connect once again with Mother Nature. The Impressionists<br />
mastered light and colour and left their studios behind to<br />
experience painting in the nature and to achieve an intense<br />
impression <strong>of</strong> the open air (plein air) in a landscape painting.<br />
