Sierra Lundy
fashion designer
Salt Spring Island-born artist and musician Sierra Lundy spent two years studying fine arts before discovering a penchant for fashion design and illustration. Her designs borrow heavily from themes in her paintings, fragmented subjects existing simultaneously on varying plains of dimension. She is also interested in fashion as a concept, a question that is asked and analyzed through the fabric. Her fascination further extends to the implausible, to purposelessness and to an incongruence of elements and fabrics.
“I like to view my collection as wearable riddles, something you wear to match your own enigma,” she says. “Like a game, it allows the wearer to layer herself in secrets that she can keep or share as she wishes.” Lundy’s designs are as incongruous as they are beautiful, they’re sophisticated somewhere along the neckline and slouch down into a bed of nonchalance by the ankles. They can also be quite coy, and aim to accentuate body parts often forgotten in the fashion world, such as knees, ears and under-breasts.” |
