I am a fashion designer, who specialises in contemporary womenswear. I am drawn to the unorthodox. Using exaggerated shapes and silhouettes within my practice, alongside bespoke tailoring and delicate forms, which when combined create a beautiful contrast and edge within my work. Using my own personal photography I capture moments candidly or through organised shoots that later inform my design process.

Compilation of Abstract concept and research boards exploring four sensations of Anxiety. Discomfort, Brain Fog, Isolation and The Uninvited guest.

I have found a new appreciation for the art of pattern cutting and fabric manipulation, whilst also working further into the finer details to enhance the quality of the garments I produce. My degree at NUA has given me the platform to find my creative identity as a designer, building confidence and resilience within my practice.

Final line up for my graduate collection, There's A Party In My Mind. A line of mixed media distorted illustrations.
A collage of the first look from my graduate collection. A black longline wool coat, with a ruffled collar and exaggerated sleeves. This is adorned by a longline ruffle sleeveless overcoat.
A collage of images showing the second outfit from my graduate collection. This outfit contains a cropped jacket, with exaggerated shoulders and cut out detail in the back. This is paired with a collared bib, layered underneath a stretchy low cut jumpsuit. To finish off the look I have created a denim under-bust, boned corset, with side cut outs. Attached to a crinoline like half skirt, made out of suiting and boning.
