About
I am a womenswear designer who strives to create a fashion world that depicts the innate connection between human identity, and nature. Having created biodegradable fabrics, I am interested in pushing boundaries in fashion to allow for innovation when it comes to sustainable, and biodegradable textiles. Working in non-traditional ways is central to my identity as a designer, whether that be through exploring unconventional silhouette designs, or by manufacturing, and manipulating textiles.
“Herbarium”, is a project that provides nature with an outlet to create its own design, through the growth of seeds, and preservation of plants onto bioplastics. Initially inspired by the herbariums of poet Emily Dickinson, “Herbarium” symbolizes the innate relationship between nature, and human identity, and aims to show a future in fashion based in biodegradable materials.
