About

Enjoying artistic subjects from a young age, I am a creative and imaginative individual enjoying creativity outside of my fashion studies I recently completed in London. I have always been very ambitious where I work hard to produce unique and engaging outcomes whatever the creative task at hand. My bubbly and enthusiastic nature helps with new interactions and relationships where my flair is evident in how I present myself and communicate with others. A recently-graduated fashion design student hoping to one day share my interests in design with the wider world outside of my current smaller bubble, my biggest design passion lies with tailoring. I prefer to opt for creating silhouettes that will flatter the customer however they desire whether it is to be fitted and sleek or androgynous and make a bold statement.

Circular forms

Dame Barbara Hepworth, a sculptor born in West Yorkshire, England, who lived in St. Ives, Cornwall, England, worked in an oversized, cocoon silhouette. Most, if not all, of her work, was influenced by St. Ives in Cornwall, England, after moving there with partner Ben Nicholson. She found an interest in the tension in the landscapes there where she noticed a tension between nature, air, water and herself etc. Hepworth used circular forms as details that reflected the outside, in - and vice versa. After visiting The Hepworth Wakefield in West Yorkshire, I observed and was inspired by Hepworth’s way of using her sculptures to curate the space they are in. I therefore developed my inspiration into ideas of how to pay homage to her style in silhouette and forms where I worked with a muted colour palette - greys, whites and beiges. By completing this project, I gathered knowledge, techniques and processes used in two and three-dimensional creative practices. I also explored and experimented with practical skills and experienced how a designer works from concept to final outcome.
