- MDes Graduate Collection - Tropical FusionDaisy's fashion collection endeavours to push boundaries; hidden Thai elements meet sumptuous tropicals. Illustrated line drawings, detailed paintings and photographic elements combine to make Daisy’s work unique.

Narrative, journey and movement are key to Daisy’s collection and are achieved through the eclectic mix of imagery and process.
