Jasper Garvida under the microscope

I must admit to have never watching Project Catwalk, but that’s not to say I’m not truly impressed with the fashionable creations of Jasper Garvida… As it seems were a number of the folk who accompanied Miele to his recent Spring Summer 2010 catwalk launch. Helene from the Luxe Chronicles sizes him up alongside US Project Runway success Christian Siriano,  

“The Canadian-born Central Saint Martins graduate is as soft-spoken and self-effacing as Siriano is brash and attention-seeking. But don’t be led astray by his discreet manner. Not to take anything away from Siriano’s colorful personality but Garvida prefers to let his talent and ambition speak for him.”

Moving on to comment on the vibrant colours, shimmery embellishments and all those little touches that made his creations, she concludes,

“His dresses are bold but still feminine. They make you want to twirl around and dance rather than go into battle. In short, they make you happy to be a girl and I’m all for that. To see the entire collection, click on this link.  Jasper Garvida. Remember the name.”
