Fashion designer focused on Womenswear. Enjoys using varied techniques including textiles, print, embroidery and embellishments. Inspired by lyrical music and unnoticeable creations. This collection was based on 'Serendipity'. The inspiration came from clumsy everyday actions, such as spilling a drink and scribbled noting’s of importance yet illegible to others. Through this I have created a clean collection that has been spilled upon with colour, print and embellishments, to reflect a happy accident. To enhance this theme I chose to work with materials that once formed cannot be replicated making each piece unique and creating their own form. A happy accident once created is hard to reproduce which led me to collaborating with a design craft student, specialising in glass, Alice Heaton. Through this my collection includes conceptual glass accessories mixed with wearable luxury garments. The label focuses on contemporary values and bringing in the new.
