I am an aspiring childrenswear designer who loves to take inspiration from the Victorian Era clothing, whilst adding a modern spin on designs. My career goal is to create my own childrenswear brand!
I have a passion to challenge 'genderless' childrenswear as modern day society tends to influence children from a young age about gender stereotypes within clothing.
I have just completed my BA Hons Fashion Design degree, and due to the uncertainty in the world at the moment due to Covid-19, I have decided to further my skills by taking on a Fashion MA course!

Projects
- WHO SAYS? - Genderless Childrenswear CollectionThis project is my Final Major Project Portfolio. It is based on the notion of challenging gender stereotypes linked to childrenswear. By using influence from the Victorian Era and modern day silhouettes, I came up with a collection to represent both boys and girls, without crossing any 'gender boundaries'. The aim of this project was to challenge how stereotypes have evolved over the decades, as in the Victorian Era pink was typically a colour for boys! Boys would be dressed flamboyantly! So
