Having moved from tropical Malaysia to Ireland four years ago, I was struck by the dramatic difference in weather temperature and had no wardrobe items to suit Ireland`s cold , wet climate. This inspired me to create a collection that is seasonless and can be worn year- round in many different environments because my customer loves to travel and explore . I also wanted to elevate streetwear to a luxury level in contrast to the Covid loungewear we have seen over the past few years. Bearing in mind that oversized silhouettes, sharing clothes between the sexes and a more casual way of dressing are all directions in which fashion is heading, I have produced a genderless collection that is functional as well as sustainable. My personal love of 90s hip hop has informed the design aesthetic and the concrete structures of modern skateparks can be seen in the custom print and colorful topstitching. My fabric choice includes Techo bi-stretch, Waterproof , Cupro and Tencel in colours from nature such as khaki, sand, sky blue and yellow. Low Key Life is a brand that offers eco-urban design to a customer who values adventure and balance in their work, rest and play.

This collection patterns was digitally developed using Lectra CAD to ensure precision, efficiency, and technical accuracy throughout the design process. Each garment was translated from initial concept sketches into detailed digital patterns, allowing for refined construction, accurate proportions, and optimized fabric utilization. The use of Lectra enabled advanced pattern making, grading, and marker planning, ensuring consistency across sizes while minimizing material waste. Technical specifications such as seam allowances, notches, and garment measurements were carefully integrated to support production readiness. Through this process, design concepts were not only visualized but engineered into functional garments, bridging creativity with industry-standard manufacturing practices.

Beacon hospital nurse uniform project

Specialisms:

Apparel

Based in Sandyford, Beacon Hospital, is one of Europe's most technologically advanced private hospitals. It has won awards for its healthcare innovation and excellence and has a team of over 1,700 medical professionals delivering exceptional patient care. Covid-19 has tested these staff to the limit on a daily basis during the pandemic, and as a way of thanking them for their unbelievable efforts, Beacon Hospital would like to reward their staff by giving something back to their nurses. Surprisingly, what the nursing team asked for was not less work or a bigger bonus, what they asked for was new uniforms. New contemporary styles that are modern, fashionable and comfortable.
