Tidebound is a womenswear collection inspired by my personal memories of beach holidays and time spent by the sea. I explored the small details that shaped these experiences — from the ropes and knots found around boats and dive sites, to coral, fish and the organic forms of marine life. I was also inspired by blue-and-white block-printed linen pieces I discovered during my travels in the Maldives, which influenced the collection’s colour palette and print direction. The concept was developed within a two-day time limit, challenging me to quickly translate these personal references into a cohesive collection of prints, fabrics and relaxed, wearable silhouettes.
