Fashion

My work during my fashion degree, specifically on the Encountering Chromatics (2025) Co-design Project for my final major project at university, was accepted to be showcased at Graduate Fashion Week. This project involved co-designing adaptive garments with four individuals with disabilities, tailored to their unique styles and lifestyles. In-depth analysis of their shape, fabric, colour, and silhouettes was conducted, which resonated with them, thereby reinforcing the importance of inclusivity in fashion. It utilised creative problem-solving and reported on the process of creating disability-inclusive garments. To complete this project, I needed to use clear communication to develop suitable accessible solutions. This project embodied collaborative teamwork, live consultation, and research informed by lived experience in the disabled community, conducted through intensive one-on-one interviews with participants and other specialists. It was crucial for the project's relevance that I had a deep understanding of the trends, details, fit, and fabrication, which was then tailored to each of the six participants and their interests. This project was completed two days early, was organised and executed to an accurate schedule, and could adapt when specific dates changed within moments. On the project's completion, I received many positive testimonials about my work and was invited to showcase a new project at London Fashion Week in September 2025. 

Following this project, I showcased a 12-piece garment collection for men, women, and unisex wear at London Fashion Week just two months after graduating in a remarkably short period. I work independently to systematically organise the logistics and finances of our participation in the show, alongside the technical aspects of creating and designing adaptive fashion, utilising my garment construction skills and styling expertise. The nature of my work involves a significant amount of research into trends, as well as deeper contexts, which can inspire my designs.
