Rebecca Ward S/S’14: Parasomnia Stephanie AndersonJuly 11, 20134 viewsdesignFashionStyle0 Comments4 views After a successful show in 2012 fashion designer Rebecca Ward returns to Amsterdam Fashion Week! On the 14th of July she will show her fabulous PARASOMNIA collection and we don’t think you’ve seen anything quite like it before! Parasomnia’s are a collection of disorders that disturb the sleep process, disrupting the entrance into or arousal from sleep. They cause symptoms such as sleepwalking and confused awakening from sleep, blurring the boundaries of the real and the imagined. It is the ephemeral moments between sleep and the waking hours where Rebecca found inspiration. The designs float between the tangible reality and the intangible and psychological dream state. Rigid leathers are punctured by softer, delicate fabrics, as dreams that penetrate the physical world. The wearer is literally trapped between dream and reality. It is Rebecca’s strong belief that fashion design should not just spark strong emotional responses, but also intellectual curiosity. This is a key consideration in all aspects of her work.
