Dharma Taylor
by Gemma Winter

Dharma Taylor (Rochester University) showed the most arresting and abstract menswear collection during GFW. With its deconstructed tailoring, grapic textiles and strong use of colour. She has taken street culture and turned it inside out, helped along by her unorthodox approach, and the concept behind her vision has its own peculiar hybrid of synesthesia and mysticism, called 'Purplehaze.' " I tried to keep my collection from being classed as nu rave. i see it as something seperate but if people interpret it that way then it's ok. PurpleHaze is created by a clairvoyant who is able to see the colours of the rays at a certain angle and speaks to them as the persons aura."

T-shirts prints based on her graduate collection are now available online
