Trixa’s debut collection, Women in Pieces, is inspired by the book ‘Girl in Pieces’ by Kathleen
Glasgow. Glasgow’s book portrays the earnest, deep, and beautifully painful story of Charlie as she struggles with mental health. A story of coming of age and empowerment which displays a lot of facets of womanhood. Visually the collection has inspirations from feminist artists such as Patricia Belli and Patricia Ayres who mainly used cream, nudes, browns and black, this inspired the Women in Pieces colour palette. Power suits mixed with lingerie detailing can be seen throughout the collection, referencing the fashion photographer, Ellen Von Unwerth.
These visual references were combined with hand draping and designing on the mannequin, using men’s suiting and lingerie acquired in carboot sales and leftover fabric. Here came to life some of the collection main looks such as the Tailored Corset Dress, which combines a tailored lapel shaped in by an underbust corset and hidden pockets, with hook and eye closures feature down the front of the dress. The Garter Trouser, aimed to fit like men’s trousers on a woman, with a more shaped fit and a low waist that has a garter waist overlapping in lace, using hook and eye closure connecting the garter and the trouser.
Patricia Reis states, ‘Women deserve to feel empowered and sensual in every scenario, this is what Trixa is to me, an expression of empowerment, designed for and with women’s best interests at heart. Trixa is for you if you are bold and want to break the standards, and for you if you are more reserved but want to feel the power.’
Show jewellery is sponsored by Glitch jewellery – a London based brand, handmaking each piece in silver. Their pieces mirror the intricate forms and textures found in the natural world, with a dark whimsical style inspired by unconventional beauty and tales of otherworldly creatures.
