Together with OV we set out to achieve a positive and inclusive experience for all women who love cycling, and also break down some of the barriers which can be overwhelming. We wanted to bring everyone along on the journey through the graphics and colours of the range, without compromising on the technical aspects that we are known for.

This collaboration stemmed from a riding trip in Mallorca, so terrazzo floors and walls were an influence from the outset. We wanted the depth and earthiness of the colour pallet to come from the elements within the rocks. All garments were designed with layers of overlapping fabric and transparent panels, with the aim to recreate the visual effect and depth of real terrazzo.

The print direction for this collaboration was inspired by the textures and elements found within Terrazzo. In order to emulate the compounds found within these precious rocks I experimented with printmaking, watercolour, transparency and layering to create textures.

I then developed these textures into a series of repeat patterns which then informed the use of transparent materials and various print scales used for each product, so that once worn together the layered outfit would combine to create a deep textural pattern.
