Chloe Reynolds’ graduate collection is a futuristic crossover between clothing and jewellery design. Based on armour and protection, it is constructed from entirely black fabrics, and intricate laser cut and anodised metal embellishments.

Silver-coloured thread incorporated into the fabric re-creates the reflection of light in raindrops; overlapping shingles of wood and clear plastic rattle when worn, like rain hitting a rooftop; and thick, soft mohair adds a mellow, water-like weight

I was intrigued by dark and sinister ways of self-harming as a form of communication. By glorifying this topic, I removed the subject from its contemporary cruel reality and transformed it into a surreal sad parade.
