Projects
- TIKTOK X GFF ResidencyIn July 2020 I undertook a week long residency in London at FashionEnter. This was the result of winning a competition set by the Graduate Fashion Foundation to design merchandise for the TIKTOK EU company. I learnt a lot from this week and it was a great oppertunity to learn more about industry production and manufactuing standards.
- Regatta: Mini ProjectA mini project I created for the Outdoor and Leisure brand Regatta. I focused on one of there best selling jackets the "“Men’s Thornridge II Waterproof Insulated Walking Jacket.” I analysed the DNA of this jacket to create variations of the design, along with detailed external and internal technical drawings.
- KOI X Graduate Fashion Foundation - "Giggle Water"Competition brief to design a shoe for KOI, inspired by a music, culture or movement. This project is centred on the prohibition era of the 1920's. A term for champagne at the time was "giggle water" I used this as inpiration for circular designs, alongside scalloped Mary Jane shoes popular at the time.
- Chip off the Old BlockA selection of work from my graduate collection. This project is an exploration into ideas surrounding masculinity, the relationship between father and son and how men find comfort in communities. This project follows a young boy growing up idolising his dad who finds solace in the communities of football, working mens clubs and motorbikes.
