About
I am a Fashion Retail Management graduate with a strong interest in the creative side of the fashion industry, particularly art direction, fashion styling, brand development and visual storytelling.My work explores the relationship between fashion, image and identity, combining creative concepts with an understanding of branding, communication and the wider fashion landscape. I enjoy developing ideas from initial research and visual direction through to their final execution, whether through campaigns, editorials, digital design or spatial concepts.I am driven by curiosity, visual experimentation and a desire to create work that feels considered, distinctive and meaningful. My long-term ambition is to build a career in creative direction, collaborating across disciplines to develop compelling visual identities and experiences.
Timeless Edo is a fashion photography project inspired by the visual culture, traditional aesthetics and architectural heritage of Edo-period Japan. The photoshoot explores the relationship between historical Japanese influences and contemporary fashion, creating a visual contrast between tradition and modernity. Through considered styling, composition, colour and atmosphere, the project captures a sense of timelessness while reinterpreting traditional elements through a contemporary editorial lens. The imagery focuses on creating a distinctive visual narrative, drawing inspiration from Japanese art, cultural symbolism and understated elegance.
