About me
Recent fashion graduate at the University of Brighton. Graduate collection 'Thread' explores the irregularity of dry stone walls through the use of thread for both functionality and aesthetics. Free hand machine embroidery is used to create textiles inspired by dry-stone walls and OS Maps which make up the tailored womenswear collection.
Projects
- ThreadOriginally inspired by the dry-stone walls of Malta and Andy Goldsworthy’s ‘Storm King Wall’, ‘Thread’ explores the concepts of irregularity, juxtaposition and reconstruction. This collection investigates the manipulation of thread within garment construction exploring aspects of both practicality and aesthetics. Fraying raw edges reflect the raw materials used within dry-stone walls, where some stones are manufactured and some are naturally eroded creating diversity in shape and size. Freehand
