About

I’m Aydan Valiyeva, a third-year Fashion Design student at Regent's University London. I specialise in textile manipulation, illustration, and concept development, creating work that is research driven and visually distinctive. My practice focuses on translating personal and cultural stories into tactile, sculptural garments with a clear and refined aesthetic identity.

Caged Elegance draws inspiration from the opulence and structural innovation of the1850s to 1860s, particularly focusing on the era’s iconic crinolines. Beyond fashion, the 1860s were a pivotal period in Victorian architecture , a transitional decade that blended historical revival styles with groundbreaking advancements in construction technologies.
