Throw Ya Hoods Up




The theme for this project was Personal Space. I looked at how different people mark their personal space. Got onto looking at chavs, and how they mark theirs. Somehow got onto making a collection of chav inspired hoods that you can roll up and pop in a small carry bag.

New Romantics v's Burlesque




Fashion illustration project, creating a new trend by combining two old sub cultures.

Architectural Forms



The inspiration behind this lingerie set is old, worn down buildings taken over by ivy.

Paper Dress




Made whilst at Kingston for one of my first fashion projects.

My Mind



My Mind Dress. Made for Fine Art Mixed Media in Art Foundation at Kingston Uni.
The idea: the mind has many layers, some clear, some are solid, some patchy, the mind sometimes has missing pieces. This is expressed with the different fabrics used and the way the piece is constructed.

Valentines Is Over But The Roses Live On



These are dried roses given to me by my then boyfriend for valentines day. I wanted to keep them forever. So i cut the heads off and hung them upside down, they dried and I made them into a hanging decoration. The roses live on .. kind of.

Recycle Reuse Repair






This is my final collection for art foundation. I collected the unwanted clothes from charity shops and combined them with old scrap fabrics I had collected over time. Using simple shapes I created these 4 dresses.

Top Tattoo



Whilst on the cake stool at uni this girl came to get a cake, she had the most amazing tattoo. She got the design from a loved bracelet she owned. She went to one of the best tattooists in NYC. Soon after she lost the loved bracelet. But it lives on forever on her wrist. I love it.

This is a lingerie collection I made in 1st year for a colour project. The inspiration was Quaint Englishness.
