About Me
Hi! I'm Edeza, Fashion Design graduate of Sheffield Hallam University.
Edeza Palicte a visionary based in Derby. Bachelor in Arts Fashion Design, specialises in womenswear, excelling in pattern cutting and CAD. Experimental and inventive with pattern cutting, pattern manipulation and draping. In addition, enjoys the styling and directing photoshoot aspect of fashion.
Throughout 5 years of studying fashion, allowed me to explore various aspects of fashion, thus defined me as to what type of creative designer I want to be. Although I am designer, I enjoy being more hands on, love working with others and enjoys the practical aspect to any category of artistry from making and directing. I am a minimalist creative that draws inspirations from everything around me and looks at everything from a different angle. Surprisingly, I am ending my fashion studies with finding myself enjoying critical research which I used to hate.
INSPIRATION
EPHEMERAL ARCHIVES
Apart from designing, I love travelling and culture. When travelling, I appreciate the culture and values of the places that I go to, and I do find it saddening to see some places slowly forgetting their heritage and origin. Therefore, for my Graduate Project I took on the direction of going back in time and looked at roots and heritage, specifically of the country Philippines.
My design research is based on pre-Spanish colonisation and cultural values that is original to the Filipinos that has little to no colonisation influences that is still apparent now but slowly fading. I began looking at my research at an angle of What if Philippines was not colonised what would it look like now? How would it have affected Philippine apparel? I then, proceeded with creating a womenswear apparel inspired from texture, forms, and silhouettes.

DETAIL
WASHED OUT
Ephemeral archive is about the fleeting history of the origin, heritage, and ancestors of the Philippines. The colour palettes were inspired from the dawning skies. The washed-out tones of the colours signify the dawn of the past. The focal point for this collection is the silhouette, the form, the style lines on the garments and print. This collection is quiet alluring, sensual and sultry has a bit of modesty. Which is ironic to today’s issues, as most of our ancestors where barely naked and it wasn’t any issue, compared to now which nudity, and sultriness is viewed as negative socially.
WORRY, ANXIETY and FEAR of CRITICISM are just optical ILLUSIONS of the MIND. The LESS you FEAR, the more POWER you will HAVE.
