- Performance Luxe- Graduate CollectionPerformance Luxe is my urban inspired graduate sportsluxe collection, exploring 3D knitted fabrics. Each garment consisting of innovative, contemporary, technical garments for womenswear.

- Dystopian Metamorphosis- Extroverts collectionDystopian Metamorphosis- Extroverts collection I imagine in the future we will highly rely on our clothing, not just as layers of clothing but as a protective and functioning tool for communication. I imagine that our clothing will be a huge part of survival and that we will communicate through our clothing, for instance they could be responsive fabrics that are either visually intriguing and therefore have a hidden meaning behind it or could send signals via touching it and being tactile, glow or reflect the light back so the wearer is to be seen. I have taken my inspiration from animals whom are able to shape change, colour change or camouflage as a defence mechanism or to stand out. For this reason, I based my context around the 2 main personality types: introverts and extroverts. The 'Opulence' garment was inspired by the beautiful and colourful sea creatures and plants and features a breathable element and glow in the dark embellishments in the crop top. 'Transparency' focuses on the movement of the Siamese fighting fish. The 'Reversible Spacer' which can be worn both ways depending on the wearer's mood is focusing on maintaining the optimal body temperature. The Thermochromic strip along the zip can also indicate if the wearer is nervous and therefore overheating by turning white from black. The 'Volume' garment was inspired by the birds of paradise when they want to look appealing to others. This volume is achieved by the neck trim and the gathered flexible sleeve.
