  Material AlchemyCreated a 6 look collection, and this was selected to be shown at the external press show at the Royal National Hotel. This resulted in my work being featured in Dazed online, Hunger Magazine, Vogue, Vogue Italia and Wonderland. My collection involved the combination and play between unusual materials. Foam garments were heavily embroidered with delicate textures and detailing. I also embellished 6 pairs of shoes to accompany the looks.
