BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles
Specialising in fashion knitwear: My graduate collection is about strength, overcoming obstacles and celebrating individuality. Inspired by my own disability, with influences from Beethoven, the romantic period and 18th century menswear, the result is a beautiful juxtaposed knitwear collection combining rebellion, freedom, truth and independence.âdeafness isnât the opposite of hearing, itâs a silence full of soundâ Romantic and elegant knit designs on a masculine silhouette give a twist of the unexpected. Soft, shimmery and delicate yarns combined with heavier textured yarns worked in different formats allow the knitwear to take on different forms of expression. Colour is a huge part of my research and design process, creating different moods and producing various palettes with regards to research and trends.
