Take it away TAFE NSW Fashion Design Studio head Nicholas Huxley:
"My collection, Chimera is inspired by the scientific idea of growing a single organism from two completely distinct genetic entities."
"My inspiration came from a visit to the retrospective of Francis Bacon paintings at the Art Gallery of NSW."
"Initially, I was inspired by the Fibonacci sequence and how the proportions always create something interesting and appealing to the eye."
"My original inspiration was Amelia Earhart. I read a book about her years ago and her story stuck with me."
"The collection merges clean tailoring with relaxed sport wear, so takes technical elements from both."
"I really wanted to create a fun, colourful collection that has the ability to lift peoples mood and make them smile."
