Her early collections were inspired by the Art Deco New York architecture and the artist Eduardo Paolozzi Wittgenstein, as the accuracy and detail within his work and Art Deco appealed to her style.

The influence of Paolozzi's work in Holly Fultons early work can be seen in the bright colours and abstract motifs. The Art Deco influence is evident in the sharp accurate perspect embellishments .

SPRING SUMMER 2011 COLLECTION

Holly Fulton produced a sophisticated but playful collection, with her eye for detail ever present. Laser cut patterned skirts, Egyptian style prints and covetable accessories and jewellery. The silhouettes were clean and feminine with slimline maxi dresses and flared mini skirts.

Beautiful colour combinations and patterns.

The clothing is wearable but abstract, the exquisite prints and colours used in the collection are refreshing and can be worn by women of all ages.
