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.
This project was completed in honour of my first year at the Fashion Retail Academy studying L3 Fashion Design coming to a sad but insightful close. For my FMP (Final Major Project), I selected the textiles pathway and thought about my interest in exploring cultures foreign to my own in order to understand and appreciate them. I began with the broad subject of Asia but my passion for East Asia and its beauty was too clear to ignore. My project looks at a way of celebrating and paying homage to the beauty of Eastern Asian culture through my textile design while addressing some of its history and origins. For instance, I researched East Asia in its politically divided state (not the one we often hear about in the media etc.). To gather primary research, I visited the Victoria & Albert Museum in South Kensington, London, England, as well as the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, London, England. Both were equally as inspiring for my ideas even though I eventually created a final piece ‘line-up’ to separate my ideas and create a less overwhelming piece. I am incredibly happy with my final textiles piece because it incorporates many textile techniques to showcase my practical skills. However, more importantly, it reflects my ideas perfectly in terms of beautiful floral imagery within East Asia - focusing on Japan for now and maybe another country later on. I am looking forward to discovering what my second year of studies hold for me and my future.
