Glamorous gams- A transition from writing about design to doing it (4)

Carrie Hare's designs from her capsule collection of autumn and winter apparel.

Fanciful rabbits and unicorns modernize traditional French toile du jouy and give a new spin on the classic kimono. All the pieces are imbued with Hare's casual chic aesthetic, moving easily from work to play.

Meanwhile, her latest legwear collection is dubbed When Nature Reigns and depicts environmental stories such as a deep-sea forest or a violet earthquake. (It's a play on the word violent, as the color used is violet.)

"I like a good range of darkly intense, sharp colors such as pink and purple, as well as metallic," Hare says. "I don't want my designs to be too feminine as many of my customers prefer sporty, unisex designs. I personally love geometric, strong lines and forms, and often collage them with softer elements such as florals."

Hare finds inspiration in the most unlikely of places, such as photography, advertising, films or books. She feels that each of her prints is like a work of art - yet is more accessible than a painting hanging in a gallery because it can be worn.
