The Fallen Magdalen Concept.
Fair Isabel, Poor Simple Isabel.
Until sweet Isabella’s untouch’d cheek.
To make old prose in modern rhyme more sweet:
But Selfishness, Love’s cousin, held not long.
In the mid days of autumn.
With every morn their love grew tenderer.
And so she ever fed it with thin tears.
No heart was there in Florence.

Past
Inspiration from the
Future
Aspiration to the

The Fallen Magdalen
concept and design.
The past is a rich heritage of resource
and inspiration for the designer.
Isabella is Pre-Raphaelite image that
represents the natural world, the
feminist ideal in flowing lines and rich
colours.
In this collection the design (the
painitng) has been updated to appeal
to a modern audience. The purpose
of the design is to convey the idea
of purity of the feminine beauty as a
fantasy element and then grounded it
in the modern world.

Isabella’s untouch’d cheek
Fell sick within the rose’s
just domain,
Placing the rose tint/graphic of the painting
upon the designs.

With every look and glance, one learns to love.

Whence thick, and green,and beautiful

With spent time grew beautiful designs.
