About
I am a recent fashion design graduate from Birmingham City University, I discovered my love for streetwear, menswear, and sustainable design. My work focusses on redefining how garments may be both useful and expressive, pushing the boundaries of everyday wear's functionality. My approach is centred on sustainability, I'm always looking for new methods to make design that is wearable and current while still being conscious of its ethical effects. I want to reimagine what contemporary menswear can be and subvert the conventions of streetwear through innovative and well-considered design.
This collection explores the intersection of cultural heritage and modern functionality, drawing inspiration from the traditional dress and practices of the Finnish Sámi people, as well as the visual language of snowboarding and skiing culture. "Quilt & Fur" merges bold silhouettes with performance driven design, reflecting both movement and protection in harsh climates. Each piece is crafted from 100% sustainable materials including wool, linen, and organic cotton emphasizing ethical sourcing, responsible production, and a deep respect for both land and tradition.
