Unravelling the Threads of Identity through Textiles: Carnival Collection

During my final year of university, I undertook a self-initiated project as an extension of my dissertation topic surrounding the links between identity, culture, and textiles. I explored what Caribbean culture means to me by interpreting my St Kitts heritage into textiles. The carnival collection is inspired by the vibrant energy of carnival culture. I drew inspirations from Ghanaian textiles both to make cultural links between West Africa and the Caribbean and to experiment with block weaving techniques.
