BA (Hons) Active Sportswear
With experience as a former international athlete, avid backcountry enthusiast, tailor and now emerging sportswear designer, I continue to further my interest and exploration within the fields of performance apparel through integrating smart technologies and advancements in hybrid textiles, which are enabling athletes to push the boundaries of human performance and safety. COLLECTION To this extend my collection encapsulates my passion and experience. Encompassing the arena of the modern athlete within cities and their fight between the artificial and natural environment. DESIGN From my unique viewpoint, I am particularly interested in designing with a more holistic approach. Engaging with specialists and experts within the realms of science, design and technology. Thereby challenging what we think of and demand of our clothes now, and in the future. TECHNOLOGY Technological advancement in clothing design, fabrication and textiles remains at the forefront of future fashion. âSmart textilesâ represent the natural step in advancing what we demand from our clothes, whether it be a heighten awareness of our environment, or benefit to our health and wellbeing. OUR PLANET I love design, but I am also in tune with its potential destructive tendencies that are at odds with the natural environment. To that extent I am focussed on making a difference and positive changes, that do not impact negatively upon our planet. I believe strongly that my combined experiences enable me to make a positive, unique contribution to our industry, and I hope that through my passion and persistence that this is able to forge a sustainable impact. Studying design at LCF has been without doubt a beneficial opportunity for me to learn and get a strong and realistic grounding in what is required to become a good designer. This I feel will put me in a excellent position to continue to develop and evolve in my particular spheres of interest, as I pursue my career objectives.
