Within this brief I was challenged with interpreting an upcoming trend and designing a product for an established brand that was in keeping with this trend. As a result of this I decided to up cycle a pair of vintage menswear shoes into a pair of womenswear heels. Upon completion of the product I developed branding and packaging for the collaborative concept, showing my full range of skills from research though to production and fashion communication.

For a live styling brief I was given the task of representing the brand Urban Outfitters and portraying their style and the style of Leeds within a single image that would be displayed within the trinity store. With a strong student influence I directed the shoot at the Belgrave Music Hall, using grungy pieces that reflected the venues hipster sensibility. The final image also demonstrates my editing skills and strong awareness of composition.

Within my second academic year I was challenged to design a small collection and create a fully realised garment from this collection.
With a distinct customer in
mind I created a sleeveless menswear coat that was influenced by grids of different scales. Using computer aided design I created and printed my own fabric that was adapted from a sourced vintage fabric.

For my final project of the second academic year I created a Zine and short fashion film. The
Zine depicts retro sportswear styled in a grungy way set against the
backdrop of Hyde Park. Influenced by suburbia, flora and classical leisure activities the Zine presents both fashion and photography within a highly stylized collection. The accompanying film promotes the launch of the Zine.
