With an aptitude for styling and art direction I use these elements within my practice to inspire my design work, creating and designing through styling and casting.

I am interested in the relationships between my models identity and the clothes worn. This focus on casting enables me to re-style and evolve looks where needed. Combining styling sessions throughout my process alongside 3D work enables me to consistently develop my ideas, ensuring a level of authenticity within my work.

THE REVIVAL COLLECTION

This collection was inspired by the work of Ray Petri, who founded ‘Buffalo’ which became a huge movement that challenged traditional and stereotypical ideas of men’s dress. Petri’s work changed the face and future of menswear. He explored the idea of different identities and personas through his styling.

Elements of masculinity, androgyny and diversity were at the core of the Buffalo collective.

The 6 looks within this collection were developed from an initial shoot which enabled a personal exploration of the Buffalo style through my own art direction. A series of styling

sessions also informed the beginning of my design and toiled work and were referenced

throughout the process.

I chose to integrate Petri’s signature styled garments such as the trench coat, MA-1 flight jacket and boxer shorts in my collection, with the intention of reviving these classic pieces.

This collection is about bravery and courage within identity. It celebrates diversity, and collaboration. It is a style that comments on the future of men’s dress and aims to further break boundaries in modern menswear through elements of gender bending and juxtaposing styles.
