Marie Lamblin

Marie Lamblin is a womenswear designer with a passion for knit and textiles. Lamblin's garments and projects investigate and challenge social issues such as poaching and the over-sexualization of women in the media through extravagant fabrics she creates, such as knitting multiple different yarns together to create one solid textile. Most recently, Lamblin has indulged in creating an air inflating system to support the final design of her Final Major Project at the Ravensbourne foundation. The air system inflates as her performative garment changes down the runway to reveal and portray the number of casualties caused in wars. The project title, “The Good, the Bad and the Worse” for Lamblin’s final foundation project, is about the glorification of the military and explores the realness of atrocities of war. Inspired by the films “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “The Deer Hunter,” both of which represent war in real ways, the project explores the use of men and women in a game of power and money and investigates the mental and physical scars that stay with a victim of war forever.

Moving forward, in the future Lamblin is looking forward to continue her career in fashion by attending IFM in Paris, where her family is originally from, to cultivate her research skills into different cultures.
