Brook Roberts and the Eye of the World

Brook Roberts and the Eye of the World

Roberts draws inspiration from x-rays and CT scans, body-mapping and contouring the human form. For AW2011 the collection teams with accessories from Eye of the World; a collaboration between Liam Motyer [a teacher] and Hope Von Joel [a stylist]. Each wooded accessory is uniquely crafted and finished by hand in London. It is a balance where each offsets and carries the other into a seamless look.
