Denim Project

In this project I plan to create a collection inspired by the life of the people that worked in the Sunderland shipyards. I am going to explore their pride, grit and the community they built. Denim was a big part of the uniform they wore because of the hands on brutal work environments.

REsistance project

In this project I plan to create a jacket and trousers inspired by the resistance against Communist rule in Czechoslovakia which stripped the citizens of their identity.

PROJECT MANIFESTO

Celebratory garments the Czech people where stripped of in the time of the communist rule

Traditional Folk Garments

shirt project

Encased seams

Due to my skin problems I find wearing certain fabrics and fibres difficult especially seams. So for this project I wanted to experiment with making clothes that were as comfortable as possible. I made all of the raw edges on the garment face out and taped the inside.
