‘A Seaside Trip’ is inspired by 1960s British seaside resorts and old family photos. By using the iconography of the seaside, I was inspired by deckchairs to influence my striped prints and use of canvas which I then pleated, draped and layered to create distortion. All of my designs are driven and informed by my passion for creative pattern cutting, whilst also incorporating aspects of traditional tailoring. Through creative pattern cutting it leads me to create interesting shapes whilst working on the stand allowing me to be able to design unique garments whilst pushing creative boundaries. My garments are reflective of my different approach to design and my interpretation of my concept is displayed in every aspect of my collection from shape and silhouette to print and fabrication.
