About me

I have just completed my degree in Textiles in Practice at Manchester Metropolitan University. During this time I specialised in knitted textiles. As a practitioner, I like to combine the use of machine knitting and hand processes such as crochet, to create a variety of juxtaposing textures. I like to take an experimental approach to my work using a variety of different yarns to create samples for use in a fashion context.

Projects

• Final Degree CollectionFinal collection of garments for my deconstructivism project. The contrasting geometric shapes from deconstructivist architecture inspired my project following the ethos of absence of harmony, continuity and symmetry. My design process started with deconstructing original knitwear garments and reconstructing them in various different ways creating asymmetric silhouettes. I took inspiration from designers such as Acne Studios for their ‘undone’ aesthetic and used that as a basis for my sampling
• Deconstructivism - Final SamplesA collection of samples inspired by deconstructivism.
