Projects
- Alfa RomeoThe project was to design a capsule collection for the company based on the Alfa Romeo 'Mito' car. The basis of the project was for the clothes to be easily worn for different occasions; to be diverse and to transform. I took this concept literally, and designed a set of garments for a woman that could quite literally be taken apart and put back together again using the clean lines laser-cutting could give and well-designed pattern-cutting. I was received into the semi-final round.
