About

A Graduate Fashion Designer specializing in sustainable womenswear and textiles with work experience in atelier assistance, fashion illustration and womenswear design at luxury labels.

Drawn from my own experience of being raised in the military, I explore the connections between family, the uncertainty of constant movement and the delicacy of being a little girl amongst this. My dad, Martin, served 22 years as an Engineering Officer before he retired from the Royal Air Force. To begin my design process, I looked at my own clothes, florals, checks and denim, as well as military wear, its hard wear and the mechanics I was surrounded with growing up. Designing sustainably is always at the forefront of my mind, I began this project by using deadstock and second hand garments to experiment with.
