'Spiritual Shift' is a practise-based investigation of designer’s curiosity to explore and gain a better understanding of spiritual enlightenment through the creation of this collection, and to see how our soul feels incredibly serene, content, and liberated from this materialistic world. Spiritual Shift uses the natural and spiritual worlds as the inspiration for designs that encapsulate light, movement, grace, and freedom of spirit. The free-spirit style silhouettes are majorly influenced by a pair of swans and hoping to liberate the movement. Ivory silk organza has been dyed by hand with pure turmeric, combining with the lighter tones to give a sense of blurriness and hypnotic illusion. Over 500 metres of cording interspersed with pin tucks give an impression of the gowns breathing, while the expansion of layers convey a message of growth because the only way forward, obviously, is growth and the movement, and that’s something designer has poetically woven into the design language.
