ROBERTS | WOOD is a design studio focusing on an innovative approach to textiles and construction. We are committed to developing sustainable, flexible production methods, valuing a hybrid of technology and artisanal making.
The ROBERTS | WOOD AW18 collection explores the designer’s fascination with the unusual idea of ‘cuteness’ as an Evolutionary protective mechanism. Stigmas surrounding ‘cuteness’ are often associated with the vulnerable and submissive, resulting in cuteness being frequently underestimated, or dismissed. For AW18, ROBERTS | WOOD uproots this, exploring ‘cuteness’ as an evolutionary advantage.
The theme is expressed through symbols which are not as they seem, voluminous ruffles and repeated bow motifs are combined and juxtaposed with silhouettes and detailing taken from Armour references and unusual defense mechanisms existing in nature - contrastingly abstracted into the collection.
