Hannah Marshall

By Emma Sells

With strong, architectural lines, bold silhouettes, an inky palette and a flair for the beautifully dramatic, Hannah Marshall’s collections, each centred round the LBD (her pivotal inspiration) are lessons in how wearable and sexy, conceptual fashion can be. Autumn/winter 09 saw her playing with the idea of fashion as armour – her graphic shapes (sharp shoulders, corseted waists, moulded hips) were rendered in luxe fabrics and shades of black and grey –a powerful, seductive look, constructed yet soft, exactly what Marshall specialises in, and perfect for the women she considers her muses – Carine Roitfeld, Grace Jones and Alison Mosshart. With that list, it’s little wonder she has listed her fashion obsessions as black, shoulder pads, and eyebrows. It comes as some surprise though that such a cutting-edge designer should choose to live in the Essex countryside, but Marshall, who studied at Colchester School of Art and Design, makes her rural life fit perfectly with her high fashion ambitions.
