About

I am a Fashion Design student whose interest in fashion revolves around exploring the relationship between volumes of the body and the garment, which allows me to interpret existing and propose innovative approaches towards presenting one’s identity. I base my work on creative methods of pattern cutting and garment construction while drawing inspiration from unique and artisanal fabrics which help me to build the narrative of long-lasting and expressive clothing.

Traditional menswear and its overpowering structural forms seen in Western Europe, as well as its widespread influence, have long since sparked in me a sense of rebellion to defy it, and a will of search for alternative relationship between us and our clothing. This collection acts as a medium for the nature of the textiles to take center stage by allowing it space for movement and continuity through the use of considerate cutting and construction. During the development process for this collection, a novel approach to study of the ergonomics of the body and its movement, has allowed for an alternative outlook challenging traditional construction and volumes of the established garment archetypes.
