Billie Jacobina’s vibrant designs are something to watch out for<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New design talent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Contrado are working with creatives from all areas of the design world. These designers are making their own stores at Contrado, featuring their artwork on our unique, handmade customised products. As a result, designer collections are affordable and always London made<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our newest Contrado Creative recruits is the extremely talented Billie Jacobina<\/a>, who has just shown her incredible new Autumn\/Winter 2017 collection at London Fashion Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"billie<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Textures, prints and accessories create an eye-catching collection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Billie Jacobina<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bille is a recent graduate from UCA Rochester, where she studied Fashion Textiles Print. Her collection was selected to be shown at the prestigious Graduate Fashion Week in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billie has already had amazing success as an inspirational, eclectic, and bold fashion designer.  She won the British Council GFW Residency Award, has shown at Jakarta Fashion Week, and won Fashion Scout\u2019s \u201cOnes to Watch\u201d award for her graduate S\/S17 collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"billie<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mermaids and under the sea themes play a big role in the collection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bold and Sassy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When looking at Billie\u2019s work, one word comes to mind; \u201cWOW!\u201d From her use of bold and punchy colours, to the fusion of textiles, prints and patterns, Billie\u2019s work demands attention. Her Spring\/Summer collection, C-LYF is inspired by Billie\u2019s dream to be a mermaid (who doesn\u2019t dream for that?!) and her love of Moroccan textiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These influences, mixed with her sea life inspiration (she grew up by the sea) and Alice In Wonderland, create a world where a lost little girl comes across a magical and futuristic underwater world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her A\/W17 collection is heavily influenced by her 3 months living in Indonesia. Exploring Jakarta, Baduy, Sumba and Bali, the surroundings of temples, culture, and colour became her muse, as did the traditional dress and patterns of the areas. Billie was able to make traditional crafting techniques utterly contemporary, making her visions and inspirations come alive in her collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However you look at it, Billie\u2019s world is dreamy, vibrant and full of personality, which is sure to brighten up your day and make you smile. Putting the fun into fashion, if you love standing out from the crowd and showing a bit of sass, then you need Billie\u2019s designs in your wardrobe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
