Two Hearts Under the Skyscraper Exhibition by Boutiqa East London

From Tinatin Westwood - Founder and Designer of Boutiqa East London -

Boutiqa East London was founded in Hackney in 2010 - 
producing digitally printed silk, wool scarves and wall hangings, which are made exclusively in the UK. Our designs are greatly influenced by the cosmopolitan nature of East London, where the endless cultural variety is a natural source of inspiration; these stories of diversity and passion are echoed in our prints.
 
We are excited to introduce our new line of handbags and other accessories. and we are immensely proud of our status as a fair fashion brand with zero animal cruelty.

Exhibition (Two Hearts Under the Skyscraper)

"For me, residential tower blocks are an enduring symbol of Hackney’s post-war history and cultural diversity, and so I decided to try to find a way to reflect them in my prints. I started by juxtaposing original shapes and colours, customizing them, and finalizing them with a digital twist. It was a truly fascinating undertaking to combine prints, drawings, and photographs to form something striking and original. 
Once I had an idea of how to transfer my initial concepts onto fabric and paper, I became curious about the history and stories behind my chosen buildings; I am truly grateful for the amazing background research my architect friend Greta Jonsson has performed, using the Hackney Archive and other sources.
As a textile fashion designer, I always aim to create pieces that are beautiful to look at but also beautiful to wear. I therefore decided that the items I create should be a nexus of art, photography, and fashion, which is why I have designed a collection of scarves, wall hangings, and photography. 
I hope that I have manged to capture some of the beautiful and positive elements of the Hackney we all love.”
