Tristan Webber

With leather becoming such an important trend, it is no wonder an emerging master cutter like Tristan Webber is sponsored by Pittands Leather (along with TopShop and Swarovski Jewellery). Among Webber's stronger leather pieces were an electric blue jumpsuit and bright red asymmetric zip jackets with suitably clever cutting techniques on the shoulders and neck. Titled 'Jeux Musculaine', Webber took his inspiration from ballet exercises, highlighting the body's changing movement in tension and pressure. Daywear majored on eroticism, using nylon airtex and Lycra film on denim or leather against glossed neoprane. Sheer darts or cut-away slashes didn't leave much to the imagination. Eveningwear by contrast was softer and shinier. Transparent gauze and silk dresses were printed with intricate graphic patterns. Dresses, tops and cut-away skirts are constructed from embossed leathers, appliqued chiffon and bright red or blue Swarovski crystals.
