This is a womenswear collection for the city woman. It includes transformable pieces that support her during her busy day. This collection puts an end to the need to carry three bags with different outfits in them – a commuter one, a work one and an evening one. The collection provides pieces that work for you and live your life instead of making you work for them. The core item is the transformable dress which turns into an evening outfit and has a detachable bag. There are also classic pieces as well as a transformable shirt and trousers with hidden pockets.

The term Spornosexual has been established by journalist Mark Simpson to describe the current rising trend for men aspiring to obtain the bodies of sportsmen and pornstars, due to their high exposure of masculine ideals amongst the media.

Inspired by this developing subculture I created casual street/sportswear, developed to fit men with a muscular physique.

Taking inspiration from vintage gym equipment, evolved the use of burgundy tones combined with copper zips and matt black details. Practicality and luxury juxtapose with the use of lycra and patterned silk.

 

Technical features include touch screen pockets made from latex for electronic devices.

I was inspired by a Japanese film called Rurouni Kenshin. I was moved by the spirit of the leading man, and had a deep interest in traditional Japanese clothing and  samurai style. My inspiration comes from kimono and modern architecture, using straight lines combined with modern and traditional elements.

The theme behind this collection is Africian culture. I was inspired by Africian cultural artworks and prints this helped me to select my colour palettes which is very bold and vibrant just like the country itself. I also looked at Africian tribes and wildlife this inspired me to design unique prints which i made into T-shirts and Jackets.

The aim of this collection was to create unique handmade clothing that you wont find on the high street by designing simple silhouettes and including cold colours and textures.

Collection inspired by the delusional impact mental illness can cause. A chaos of colour portrays the array of emotions the mind will allow, inspired by the changing colours of mood rings based on how the wearer is feeling. The cut and silhouette holds a strong shell to hold the contrasting weight of fabric, with curved seams not in the traditional placement question what is real or not. The print working with the cut of the garment suggests that we should look beneath layers, like looking into the mind of the mentally ill. It is a fascinating place. My collection was designed for women but of course I have no objection to it being unisex.

The theme of this womenswear collection is inspired by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, a cataclysmic event that destroyed the city and people of Pompeii.

The inspiration for the jacket silhouette came from the concept of the distorted, oversized casts that covered the bodies, keeping the remains hidden and protected.

The remaining pieces in the collection (dresses, tops and trousers) represent the fluidity and intense colours of the molten lava, that is continuously overlapping its previous layer. This is achieved by the use of elegant fabrics such as silk satins and vibrant digitally printed chiffon’s, depicting the flowing movement of the beautiful molten lava.

My collection focuses on menswear, and men’s tailoring. The collection has a classic and timeless feel where focus is on the quality of the garments and the combination of personalized fabrics. Fabrics have been painted and garments have been accessorized with hand-made hats and silver pendants. The collection has a message inside the combinations of luxury tailoring and workwear to show that society needs no class and that we are all equal just like the crossing of the snakes in the pendent.

This urban warrior womenswear collection takes inspiration from warfare, medieval armour and traditional crafts. Using a combination of leather, metal and bondage rope, I designed garments that contrast strong materials with a modern, feminine silhouettes. Medieval construction scale-mail and traditional European 4-1 chain mail weave techniques, together with macramé, have been incorporated into my garments. Working intuitively on the stand and exploring techniques of craftsmanship are key to this collection and my practice.

Curb is an alternative womenswear youth and street-style collection, providing the cool and causal with over-sized silhouettes influenced by the early 90’s and Japanese culture. A mash up of digital prints, pleats, bleached denims and pastel shades give a unique urban edge. Eclectic silhouette and a sense of rebellion are brought to this new fun youth culture. Layered street style is interpreted as art with vivid painted prints, layered fabrics and oversized fluid shapes.

The “Waves of the Future” AW17 Collection is a women’s wear sustainable collection inspired by the interaction of humans with the environment. In my collection, I combine my environmental engineering background with fashion design and create each piece as a “system”, both aesthetically and in terms of design principles.

Each of the 12 looks in the collection has an aesthetic story – a past. For example, Look 02 has a pleated and projected collar with a staggered neckline – this neckline is inspired by the obsession to reclaim land.

I use fabrics that are produced sustainably, from organic and certified farming practices, to environmentally-friendly dyes, and recycled fabrics. The buttons used are 100% coconut.
