My name is Edith Courtney & I am an eclectic designer that likes to combine streetwear and haute couture. I aim to make sustainable statement pieces. I find influence in major fashion houses like Balenciaga and apply their exaggerated silhouettes to everyday wear.
Currently Looking Into the Works of Tim Walker (Fashion Photographer), Gareth Pugh (Designer), and Serge Lutens (Art Director).
My deep dive research involves taking a look at the more dominant fashion houses - their couture shows, and from there, finding a sort of...repetitive style that I really feel like I can engage in. From this I have found that Gothic Romanticism and Futuristic Utopian Fashion are very influential and in alignment with my ideas and interest.

My entire purpose for this research is to help pinpoint a design style for myself so that I can start to become more informed and make more intentional designs and creations.

Lately I have really been taking a lot of time to focus on design methods and techniques. One of my main goals on my design journey is to get to a point where I can accurately create very elaborate and expressive pieces that I see in my head and sketch on paper.

Balenciaga’s definitely my favorite major fashion house since I’ve been interested in fashion on a more academic level #lol. My obsession truly started with the knife boot and pretty consistent all black + primary colors palette which is just so good. Recently I’m loving the oversized blazer & broad shoulder silhouette, so I’m incorporating it in some of my designs.

Marine Serre has been one of my top designers since their coming out. I think they use a very contemporary style of collaging and draping up-cycled garments. Photos are from their Spring 2022 Ready-to-Wear Collection. Linked is their collection film 🖤
