About
As a fashion design graduate with a specialisation in womenswear, I possess a creative and innovative mindset. My passions encompass both high-end and high-street fashion, with a strong focus on sustainability. I am eager to expand my knowledge and enhance my skills in the field of design.
The concept of this project is based on how work can consume our lives—focusing on my parents' jobs, as they have so little time to relax. I repurposed items like my dad's 'old' work shirts (7 total) by deconstructing and using the fabric to create a modern design. I repurposed an old sweatshirt, giving it a new identity. I looked into creating a relaxed form of workwear, with more people working from home, wearing dressed down. Neon deadstock fabric relates to post-it notes at work and hi-vis jackets for night walks. Redefining fabrics through the use of patchwork pleated panels.
