2020 Fashion Design with Business Studies Graduate from the University of Brighton, based in London. I specialise in tailoring, drape and delicate fabrics as well as a recent interest in millinery. My style is inspired by people and the stories around them. The design always begins with individuals and becomes about building a world and narrative around them. My own photography heavily influences my 3D work and colour stories.
Projects
- LONE STARLone Star is a gritty narrative of a young girl based around the stories told in Corinne Day’s photography of her friends and the young Kate Moss in the 90s mixed with the influences of bold female characters from Americana road films. Girls who encompass a blend of both fearlessness and femininity. The collection is influenced by my own photography of motels along the west coast of the US, as well as research into temporary structures, such as scaffolding, and artists who create sculptural form
