About

I am a KSA Fashion graduate specialising in responsible design, innovation and up-cycling.

My final collection entitled UNDER NEW SKIES is a project about designing for our future selves. What we do now will determine the skies we live under in the future. By learning from and experimenting with objects and practical garments that are already above ground, we can limit the waste we carry forward with us.

It is an archival project examining and dissecting construction and practicality, picking apart pieces with a purpose and reimagining them in a fashion context.

It is to see beauty in functionality and garments that are overlooked when they are no longer required for their original manufactured purpose.
