While studying at Norwich University of Arts I have specialised in women’s eveningwear and have created a signature for creating exaggerated and avant garde shapes. Within my work I am inspired by stories; whether these are biographies, novels, fairy tales or myths and legends. I find the concept of narrative fascinating and full of imagination with endless possibilities of interpretation.
For my ‘Crystalize’ collection I have created characters who are fearless in their fashion choices and feel comfortable with being experimental and being expressive. I choose these words in particular because of the sculptural and engineered silhouettes of my collection which have a crystal army feel about them, as well as being made of exploratory structures and silhouettes.
