Hawthorne & Heaney for Joshua Kane Fantasy

September 19, 2017 by Eleanor Rowlands

Fashion week is here! We have had the absolute pleasure of working with the one the only Joshua Kane for his Spring Summer 2018 Collection ‘Fantasy’. It is always a delight to see our work come to life on the catwalk, and out there for the world to see!

Hawthorne & Heaney for Joshua Kane A/W 2017

February 22, 2017 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Hawthorne & Heaney for Joshua Kane A/W 2017 London Hand Embroidery

On Friday night, Hawthorne & Heaney were a few of the audience members to watch the the fashion show of Joshua Kane’s A/W 2017 collection. Held at the London Palladium, it was a grand affair with 2250 people eagerly watching as Kane wanted to be able to share the experience with his fans as well as the high fashion crowd. Therefore, tickets were available for anyone to buy, attend and enjoy.

Entitled, ‘Journey’ the brand did not disappoint with an amazing set of intricate lattice work depicting a early 20th century tube station, newly built and creating a social microcosm of it’s own as the classes mingle. On this we were introduced to the narative with a couple of models interacting briefly before the main body of the show got started.

The shows itself was crisp, sharp and well polished as is only fitting for a Joshua Kane collection. Not only was this show unusual to be shared with the wider audience in this way, but was also Kane’s first show that was an equal split of mens and womenswear. The line up finished with the three looks which Hawthorne & Heaney produced embroidered pieces for, in the form of a horse head, with chess board, military and heraldic influences.

Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17

August 4, 2016 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand EmbroideryOur regular readers will be familiar with the long standing creative relationship that Hawthorne & Heaney have with Joshua Kane and his SS17 collection was no exception. This season we produced a series of tie pin/brooch roses which embellished a large proportion of the collection.

Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand Embroidery The show itself was sharp but beautiful as is Kane’s house style with a sumptuous 3D fabric rose on the lapels. Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand Embroidery

The roses are available in Black Satin, Teal Velvet, Crushed Purple Velvet and Printed Black and White Silk. Below is a little taste of the looks from the runway. Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand EmbroideryThe roses are created by wrapping and twisting the fabric to manipulate it into the plush shape of a rose. Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand Embroidery

They fasten onto the lapel with a silver stiletto tie pin back .Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand Embroidery

They lend themselves well to both embellishing a dinner jacket or adding a sartorial touch to a more casual suit jacket. Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand Embroidery

Along with being worn on clothing, Kane has also shared the roses styled with some of his other accessories: Hawthorne & Heaney on Joshua Kane SS17 London Hand Embroidery

Hawthorne & Heaney for Joshua Kane

April 21, 2016 by Natasha Searls-Punter

For his SS16 collection, we worked with Joshua Kane  to create these lightening inspired detail to compliement the tailoring. We came across this great picture of Jack Guiness in one of the jackets with Ben Stiller, giving their best ‘blue steel’ looks and just had to share it with you!

 

Hawthorne & Heaney for Joshua Kane London Hand Embroidery

Here you can see some of the detail of the goldwork that goes unto the collar. The embroidery stands up from the fabric as it has been raised and each piece of bullion is cut to measure and hand applied to create this lux effect.

And here the rest fo the jacket, I think you will agree, it is pretty special.

Hawthorne & Heaney on Application of Traditional Goldwork

July 24, 2015 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Hawthorne & Heaney on Application of Traditional Goldwork  London Hand Embroidery

It can be hard when you get excited and caught up in learning a new technique, but when it comes to applying your skills to a particular item, one often realises it is harder than first thought. We thought we would take our recent work for Joshua Kane and use it as a sort of case study for the use of goldwork in fashion.

Hawthorne & Heaney on Application of Traditional Goldwork  London Hand EmbroideryHawthorne & Heaney on Application of Traditional Goldwork  London Hand Embroidery

These pieces were inspired by lightening which give the goldwork a very crisp look whilst showing off the complexity of the goldwork. Often, goldwork is shown with some accents of silk work, however by keeping purely to the goldwork it makes it look very bold and fresh.

Placement of pieces such as these is very important as they weigh a lot so the piece of the garment that they can be crafted into need to be very sturdy in itself and not be subject to too much movement when worn . This is why the collar and high waistband as shown above work well with this technique as they will not be agitated in these positions. As can be seen in the images, the positioning of the embroidery and the garment pieces are worked in careful consideration of each other.

Along with the weight, the height of the embroidery has to be taken into consideration as the padding underneath, forces the goldwork to stand proud of the fabric. This can make for a really interesting design feature, as can be seen in this example, the shadows created by the height add to the depth and texture of the piece.

With some careful manipulation, the use of traditional techniques can make a very refreshing to classic cuts which has so much possibility. In these pieces there is only 2 types of goldwork material used, which allows for a clean appreciation of the lines and design itself, allowing it to be an interesting addition to the overall look without over powering the garment as a whole.

If you have an idea that you would like to see come to fruition or are interested in learning more about goldwork, get in touch with us at Hawthorne & Heaney or the London Embroidery School.

As London Collections Men, comes to an end we thought we would share our addition to the wonderful collections that have been on show over the last week. From the Joshua Kane Spring/ Summer 2016 Collection, we produced these exciting lightning waistband and collar. The images below demonstrate the detail that goes into them as they are constructed out of raised Gold cutwork edged in Pearle Purl. You can see the depth of the work though the shadow that is created by them.
