About me
I am a passionate menswear graduate specialising in tailoring, I love following current trends and always observing street style. my main skills are tailoring,CAD, print design and i have a great eye for attention to detail which makes me a fantastic menswear designer. I believe fabric and the little details are cruitial elements to why a man would be attracted to buying a garment and feel they can make or break a well executed design.
I want to work for a brand where i can learn and grow and also bring something extra to a team of professionals who share my dreams and ambitions, I have a great sense of humour and feel i could bring a great enthusiastic attitude to a team aswell as working hard in a fast paced environment.
Given the chance I could be an asset to a company where my creativeness can flourish and be utialised to its full potential.
Projects
- FINAL COLLECTIONInspiring story about Edison Penna who was a survior of the tragic mine collaps in Chile, He surivived many grueling weeks trapped underground with no food or water and very little light. To keep his sanity alive and battle for his survival he ran every day underground often dragging pieces of heavy equipment behind him to keep his health and sanity alive. After his survival he went on to complete two New York marathons in record time and is an inspiration to live your life and fight every day for what you have. My collection silhouettes came from typical miner outfits mixed with sportswear such as running shorts and breathable fabrics. I added an element of tailoring as it is my passion to keep the tradtional birtish tailoring techniques alive and modernise them as all the great designers are doing. The black contrasted with bright colours comes from the little light underground light briefly with flashes of colours through broken rocks.
