Fashion today in Jamaica is considered to be “whatever that is trending”, and very few dares to be different, to walk amongst the sheep as the shepherd.
Emerging Fashion Designer and Fashion Illustrator Kaydeen Dyrumple has created a style to call her own. A fashion sense that merges Baroque infused with the futurism of an Avant Garde flare is what this young lady has to offer whenever she applies her knowledge of garment construction with art. Her style is also influenced by the Elizabethan era complimented with whimsical undertones.
Throughout her college life she explored a lot with fabric manipulation techniques; transforming flat one-dimensional surfaces into complex multifaceted planes that later became a signature in her creations.
Kaydeen works as a sole designer developing her brand Rumple HouseTM at her own studio where nothing but the finest is produced unlike other fashion designers of her age. She pays keen attention to detailing and recommends swatches of fabric selection that suits her clients well.
Growing up in Spanish Town, Jamaica, Kaydeen draws inspiration from everyday pop culture to create her masterpieces ranging from lavish gowns to lustful bathing suits for her growing clientele.
As for many designers living in Jamaica one of the many challenges that’s Ms Dyrumple faces is the lack of funding for her craft and the sourcing of quality material to create her products, however that’s does not stop her from creating jaw dropping works of art featured in fashion shows around the island annually.
Young, talented and beautiful.
When compared to some of the leading clothing brands in Jamaica such as KerryManWomanHome and Carlton Brown, Kaydeen Dyrumple of Rumple HouseTM steps ahead with maximum creativity and style.
