SAFFRON KNIGHT

Saffron is a devoted, dynamic fashionista who rejects all the tiresome trappings of the Diva. She thrives on the energy clash of harnessing two opposing world’s into a single concept.

Saffron has not only crafted a distinctive array of garments but she herself has also designed and had printed, to exacting standards the fabric used for each one. Saffron researched into her dual heritage of Jamaican and British culture to create the prints in this unique and exciting body of work.

She delved into the infamous ‘Dancehall culture’ of Jamaica’s music scene and also explored traditional dance themes, such as jazz, flamenco and ballroom to make a fascinating contrast.

Saffron has hand drawn all the prints before using CAD (Photoshop & Illustrator) to digitally transfer the prints to the fabric. She was keen to maintain the personal link between the artist’s hand drawn initial design and the resultant printed fabric.

The garments follow through with the fluidity of the ‘movement through dance’ theme of the fabric and the pairing result in an exceptional vision of tangible energy.
