Imagery as Design Ethos

P r o f e s s i o n a l  P r a c t i c e s -


My work is 
personal & reflective
Apart of my design process is to 
look inward
drawing on 
responsive emotion, 
individual experiences 
or values.

To me, fashion is theatre.
The form is exaggerated and dramatic.
I don't design something unless
it screams.

More IS more.
Put one more thing on
don't take it off.


To me, 
the most fascinating 
thing about fashion 
is its role in human identity
and paradoxically,
superficiality.

Therein lays the notion 
of masking,
protecting,
armouring.
And layering.

A lot of ideas are 
packed tightly 
into 
my work.
Never simple.
Minimalism feels difficult.

Fashion needs to tell a story or
portray a character.
Perhaps as an exploration 
of self.

Colour is very 
important to me.
Unusual combinations
and courageous print.

Colour 
is the primary
way to categorise.
Taking precedence over 
any other element as
a justification
to combine
textiles and clashing
conventions.
