Petra Metzger - “Shapes of Revolution” collection - A/W 2012

Petra - German designer who moved to London in 2003 and recently graduated from Central Saint Martins. Petra's design background is pretty impressive as she has been trained in the craftsmanship of dressmaking, to working with Hussein Chalayan, Haider Ackermann and Peter Jensen. She believes in strength and reflects that in her work and designs. On question what inspired her to create this collection, Petra answered: "The inspiration is the spirit of demonstration. A Muslim woman who stands up for her beliefs, her face is veiled and she is carrying a big flag over her shoulder. I immediately felt a huge amount of respect and sympathy at the same time."
