Latest Collection

Hard Boiled Wonderland

Influenced by the novel Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the world by Haruki Murakami.
The concept under pinning this womenswear collection is to create a narrative between two coexisting worlds. Reality colliding with a world of childhood memory. Research derives from visual representations of Victorian children's clothing, corsetry, the portraits of the " Hidden Victorian Mothers" and makes use of the work of Glaswegian Victorian textile designer Christopher Dresser.
