About
I am a Fashion Retail Management graduate with a strong interest in the creative side of the fashion industry, particularly art direction, fashion styling, brand development and visual storytelling.My work explores the relationship between fashion, image and identity, combining creative concepts with an understanding of branding, communication and the wider fashion landscape. I enjoy developing ideas from initial research and visual direction through to their final execution, whether through campaigns, editorials, digital design or spatial concepts.I am driven by curiosity, visual experimentation and a desire to create work that feels considered, distinctive and meaningful. My long-term ambition is to build a career in creative direction, collaborating across disciplines to develop compelling visual identities and experiences.
After Hours is a fashion editorial mock-up exploring contemporary femininity through contrasting textures, structured styling and bold accessories. Drawing inspiration from modern fashion magazine editorials, the shoot combines classic wardrobe staples with more expressive styling choices. Leather, oversized silhouettes, crisp button-up shirts and voluminous skirts create an interplay between masculine and feminine elements. Chunky jewellery adds character and visual impact, bringing individuality to each look. The project focuses on fashion storytelling through styling, image composition and editorial layout, translating a contemporary fashion perspective into a magazine-inspired visual concept.
