L.V
I AM LUXURY, was a breif set by Louis Vuitton
Leeds.
I
interpret
luxury
as
a
feeling rather than a material object. Therefore, I created
a
garment
to
cocoon
and
encapsulate the wearer. The garment includes a hood to create privacy and isolation, as well as transparent personalised unique
pockets
inside
and wearable
so
it
become
can
be a
environment.

T-SHIRT STORE
I worked to an open breif for The T-Shirt Store Leeds. Inspired by their graphic print, geometric lines and negative space against positive, I created woodcut prints to be used on their garments.
FINAL DESIGNS
HAWES AND CURTIS breif to create a womenswear outfit for their store. I took inspiration from present fashion trends of Data Divination, focusing on patterns of digital data and continuous line. I created a spirograph on
my

FINAL DESIGN
My final design submission a trapeze shaped cotton shirt
consisted of and grey
wool skirt. My print has been used for small details to contrast the minimal style of the shirt.
URBAN OUTFITTERS LEEDS set a breif for an illustration reflecting their style. I created a lino cut illustration Inspired by the bold graphic print used in their garments. The illustration
ILLUSTRATION
was displayed in the store and a zine was produced containing the work.
U.O
Context of Practice initial research began with the idea of transformable garments and textiles. I studied modular design and was inspired by the personal and unique element it can have for the wearer.
CONTEXT OF PRACTICE
C.O.P
PROTECTION
The concept of transformable fashion triggered research into portable environments. I have taken inspiration from various artists and designers who use this concept in their work. I became particularly focused on portable shelters for protection for the homeless.
SHELTER
PADDED
Functionality pockets final

the

my
enable
the
paramount to
wearer to store personal possessions and essentials.
This
stems
from
the
concept of portability in times of crisis.
Transparent
pockets
are
featured so that contents are visible and the garment could become personalised.
REFLECTIVE
I have experimented with reflective piping to give visibility to the garments against an urban landscape. This contrasts with the concept of invisibilty of homeless individuals in our society.
VISIBILITY
Fabrics used in the collection have are coated to be waterproof and durable to ensure garments are hard wearing and practical for life in an urban environment.
The colour palette has been inspired by the bright colours of homeless deterrents such as sloped benches contrasted against grey tones used in recyclable plastic materials
