I am a fashion design graduate that specialises in womenswear currently looking for a role that'll put my skills to good use and to take my degree forward into a industry role. I am eager in getting industrial insights and to network with individuals of the same interests of me as well as individual from other branches of creativity. As well as having interests in fashion, I love to read and a fiend for documentary’s as well I am building my own small brand, SHANB_Styles which produces one-off hand made pieces sold on Depop.
Projects
- EXPOSURE LOOKBOOK: Final Major ProjectThis lookbook contributed to my Final Major Project of university. This project focused on 'the hotspots of the female body' and how these are often linked to sensuality and femininity. Photographed pieces are also by my self. Within this, we played around with interesting lighting, textured backdrops and what focus points we thought would photograph well. This was a collaborative project with it being shot by the amazing Kamaria Holmes who really communicated my vision !
- Connections and SeparationWithin this project, the main focus was to juxtapose the themes of being separated but connected. I drew inspiration from the current social climate that, that being the pandemic and how all of us as a society haven't been so connected yet so far apart at the same time. How we all long for us to go back to 'normal' but do so separated physically.
