COLLECTION BRIEF:
After under going an intense 4 years MDES fashion design course at the University of Brighton, I have further developed a passion for menswear and especially in traditional tailoring. With a “red brick school” up bringing my design handwriting has been infused with a preppy element and further made interesting by my love for gothic and androgyny. Like my previous projects, my final collection attempts to capture the softened masculine image in modern day culture, blending feminine fabrics with masculine silhouettes.

DESIGN EXPERIENCE:
After graduation, I was appointed as an R n D designer in Hong Kong, working closely with China factories, fabric mills and my international clients (JCREW, JOHN VARVATOS, ABERCROMBIE & FITCH) to generate new trend ideas each season. Whiles at this post, I have extended my training into FABRICS and PRODUCTION, which I could never have learned from University training.

OTHER EXPERIENCE:
Alexander McQueen- Assistant to Embroidery Designer
PostHuman Wardrobe- Assistant to Head Designer
