Lorraine told a wonderful story about the inspiration for this jacket. It came when watching a television program on the endangered Snow Leopard and the hazards it faced surviving in its harsh climate.

The two sides of the jacket are different representing the terrain it had to cross to get to new water supplies as the seasons change.
The pink pieces represent trees and the fallen leaves around them.

The other side of the jacket is the cold white and greys of the winter landscape and between them the hazards the leopard must cross.

It was a great example of how you can get inspiration for your work and it makes the jacket so much more interesting with the story being integral to it. Thanks Lorraine
