Optimism is all about my feelings of this year, things go wrong but things also go right, so its optimistic. I also found the whole idea of people giving up on wearing nice clothes because they weren’t going out a bit sad, and I just wear whatever I want even if I am just going for a walk because I am doing it for myself. So, this project is all about just doing something to make yourself happy, and just finding the good in the bad even if it does feel a bit shit. This collection is dedicated to Pepe, my studio companion. You deserved so many more years than life gave you. I miss and love you more than you will ever know.
