MUNGO GURNEY BIOGRAPHY MUNGO GURNEY HAS AN INSPIRING STORY TO TELL AND HAS BEEN MUCH IN DEMAND SINCE GRADUATING FROM CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS IN 2006 WITH A 1ST BA HONS IN WOMENSWEAR FASHION DESIGN. HIS INTERESTS IN THE CREATION OF TEXTILES, FINE ART, COLOR AND PATTERN QUICKLY BECAME THE FOCAL POINT OF HIS DESIGNS, WHICH MADE HIM THE PERFECT FIT TO BE LAUNCHED BY THE CREATIVE ARCHIVES.  HIS WORK WAS SELECTED FROM SCORES OF ENTRIES NOT ONLY FOR HIS VIBRANT DESIGN AND DISTINCTIVE APPROACH BUT ALSO FOR HIS PERSONAL DRIVE AND PERSEVERANCE.  MUNGO SAYS, ‘I FIND INSPIRATION IN LIGHTS, ARCHITECTURE, INTERIOR SPACES AND VINTAGE HAND EMBROIDERIES. I AM ALWAYS WORKING, CREATING, AND DEVELOPING PRINTS, AND WORKING WITH THE CREATIVE ARCHIVES HAS GIVEN ME A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE MY WORK AT LONDON FASHION WEEK.’

CITY BUTTERFLY COLLECTION PLAYING WITH THE PROPORTIONS AND SYMMETRY OF ANIMAL PATTERNS, A BUTTERFLY WING FROM PAPA NEW GUINEA MAY APPEAR TO BE SNAKE OR LEOPARD SKIN. OPAL FLECKS OF LIGHT FROM MOVING LIGHTS ARE LAYERED WITH THE PIXEL LIKE HAIRS OF BUTTERFLY WINGS AND THEN MIRRORED INTO NEW FORMATIONS OF ORGANIC PATTERN.

DEEP SEA LIGHTS COLLECTION THE GRID-LIKE APPEARANCE OF A CITY SKYLINE BY DAY BECOMES AN INKY SEA OF RANDOM LIGHT BY NIGHT. CONSTANTLY CHANGING, THESE DREAM LIKE PALETTES ARE ABSTRACT YET HAVE OCCURRENCE OF PATTERN WHICH ALLOWS THE ONLOOKER TO KEEP DISCOVERING RELATIONSHIP OF COLOUR AND FORM BUT NOT PIN DOWN WHERE IT ORIGINATED FROM, LIKE THE EXPERIENCE OF LOOKING AT LIGHTS THROUGH WATER, TEARS, GLASS AND RAIN.
