My graduate collection is inspired by traces of escape which came from my Poppa’s diary entry of when my pet budgie escaped, and also the memories I have from a visit to Alcatraz prison. The main focal point of my designs is the marks and traces left behind on denim garments by the unknown wearer. I have combined pleated rainmacs printed with landscapes of Alcatraz Island with delicate silks and foiled, bleached and recycled denim. My aim was to execute the use of denim in a sophisticated and feminine way, mixing contrasting fabrics for a modern twist.
