Fashion Design and Marketing Graduate from Northumbria University with interests in knitwear and surface design.
Homesickness is a collection that visualises the complicated emotions that come with growing up and moving on from your childhood. Inspired by childhood memories of baking and my nana’s vintage Bero book. Eluna’s first collection combines the feeling of loss, confusion and fear with the comforting warmth of nostalgic memories expressed through hallucinogenic colours, comforting cable knits, and psychedelic hand-painted prints. This collection is a naïve, sentimental, comforting yet chaotic selection of pieces, including a range of bold prints that can be reversed to change your garments look, which can be paired with comforting, layer-able knits and staple pieces.
A project I did alongside entering in the i.dott surface design competition which I was shortlisted for (the print I submitted could not be included in these pages).
