I am a final year student studying BA(Hons) Fashion Design and Technology, specialising in womenswear, at Manchester Fashion Institute, Manchester Metropolitan University. I completed a placement year at Portwest as a Trainee Junior Design Assistant and I am currently looking for graduate roles.
Opulence Overload is a womenswear ready-to-wear luxury collection that celebrates maximalism through a playful and imaginative lens. My graduate collection is inspired by the ornate beauty of antique furniture, the collection merges playful, feminine silhouettes, with technical details. Drawing on the rich textures and sculptural qualities of vintage interiors, each look is designed to evoke a sense of luxury while remaining wearable and relevant.
Focusing on enhancing auto racing apparel by integrating cutting-edge material science with sustainable design. I developed high-performance base layers using Merino wool for its superior moisture-wicking, breathability, and thermal regulation, ensuring driver comfort under extreme conditions. Complementing this, the race suit is constructed with Nomex, a proven flame-resistant fiber, to meet stringent safety standards. This dual-fiber approach offers a synergy of comfort, safety, and sustainability, aligning with the evolving demands of motorsport athletes. My design not only prioritizes performance and protection but also reflects a commitment to responsible innovation in the racing industry.
My submission for the Belstaff Cloud Master Prize Fund 2.0 draws inspiration from the rugged elegance of hiking gear and the practicality of travel luggage. Designed for explorers who value both form and function, it blends performance-ready materials with timeless style. The piece reimagines traditional outerwear. Lightweight, weather-resistant, and built for endurance, it reflects Belstaff’s spirit of adventure while addressing modern mobility needs. This concept is a tribute to journeys—both personal and physical—and the gear that carries us through them.
