My approach to fashion design is always about wearability and practicality. In an age where sustainability is becoming a growing issue, its important to look every step of the production process and help create a cycle that eliminates waste and in turn starts with a unique garment that is ready to go from start to finish. In order to keep my ideas wearable but individual, I integrate hand crafted textures, exciting colors combinations and feminine silhouettes but without over complicating the look.
With my experience at London College of Fashion as well as London itself, I have become more and more absorbed with sustainability in fashion. With that, I would like to make more of a contribution to the current fashion industry in helping create commercial products that are ethically and environmentally sound.

Natalie Rae’s exciting debut collection fuses bold embroidery and a natural colour palette with casual American 1980s silhouettes.

- Inspired by the anthropomorphic artwork of artist Ryan Berkeley, each of the 8 looks invokes the spirit of well-shod wildlife from Berekely’s animal portraiture. Using a different animal from 8 of Berkeley’s illustrations, Natalie has brought together elements of nature photography, detail from Victorian period animal illustrations as well as experimental painting techniques.  - – The collection balances organic, ethically sourced fabrics and material with a fashion-forward sensibility. Fabrics for this collection come from organics suppliers in India and the UK. The majority of this collection’s fabrics have been hand-dyed to match the warm palette of Berkeley’s illustrations. The one-of-a-kind embroidery work was designed by Natalie and crafted by Hand and Lock of London, at their new fair trade facilities in India. The wooden clutches and totes that compliment the collection where hand crafted by Teal and Gold in Canada using American Walnut wood from a sustainable forest in the United States

"

Behind the label Arnoldo][Battois, there are two stylists from Venice: Silvano Arnoldo and Massimiliano Battois. They met at the faculty of Architecture of Venice and discovered their common passion: fashion.

Scrupulous and perfectionist types, what brought them together was their taste for beautiful things, the passion for research, the recuperation of materials in total expressive liberty and their attention to detail.

A rich work experience (Mila Schön, Marzotto group, Scherrer, Cardin, Laura Biagiotti, René Caovilla...), flows into the long collaboration with Roberta di Camerino which was fundamental for their growth as professionals and for the discovery of a new passion: the bag accessory.

In 2001, armed with the professional experience acquired through various years of work, they took on the challenge to create clothing and accessories with their own label and to test their marketability by opening a shop in Venice.

The clothing and accessories that they produced were made from a highly specialised craftsmanship from the Riviera of Brenta. They obtained a very positive reaction from the beginning, both from the national clients and especially the international clients, who appreciated the originality and quality of the materials and craftsmanship.

In 2006, they were called to teach on the Design and Fashion degree course at the Faculty IUAV of Venice. This course was headed by Maria Luisa Frisa: from 2006-07, they held the laboratories for the design of Clothing and Accessories.

The work completed up until this point obtained optimal results, with the goods being distributed in prestigious stores as well as major international stores and with collection after collection earning main reviews in the sector, as the important insertion in “Percorsi di creatività 3” (“Fashion”, December 2004, LVMH) in Bag category.

They participated in 'Who is on next?' 2010, international competition organized by Vogue Italy and AltaRoma, and they are inserted between the three finalists in the accessories category.

On September they showed SS 2011 collection during Milan Fashion Week, at the event organized by Vogue Italy and Vogue USA in Palazzo Morando, with the presence of Anna Wintour, Franca Sozzani and the most important names of fashion system.

-------------------------

concept:

overall different but connected by detail: this is the aim searched in the creations of each Arnoldo][Battois collection, result of careful reflection on relationship between clothes and accessories in their mutual contamination.

Bags are enriched by drawing on the workings of haute couture, clothes are thought as architectures that contain a body: a new language to experience unexplored worlds.

Accessories like dresses, complex and autonomous architectures: it’s an open project, that attempts to distance from existing idea of the bag, that produces contaminations bringing together, in a unique time, the moments of history and sedimentation of thoughts; it’s a suspended time where everything is possible: it’s the memory, the remembrance, the future made of past and future. A never-ending story, never perfect, that is continually enriched by experiences to experiment forms, volumes and texture.

Clothes as accessories, essential structures capable of define and valorise themselves just around the human figure. Evolving objects, transformable and adaptable to different situations, designed to be independent from the body proportions, but they exploit its movement to define themselves. Tunics, kimonos, cloaks, symbols of far worlds, gently emerge in these creations evoking austere sensuality and formal rigor; few elements are predetermined because just the body movement determines, instant by instant, the free drapery; also the light, using combinations of different materials, becomes complicit in this game.

Collections are born and developed in Venice, place of historical sedimentation and cultural contamination, where the glories of the Serenissima, Marco Polo’s travels and the lives of intellectuals and artists of the past still emerge in the contemporary look. City of indefinite, where everything is fragmented and reassembled under the same light, where past and present coexist in a dynamic equilibrium; it’s the Wunderkammer, which allows to rediscover the past to design the future.
