My graduate collection is based around my childhood and growing up around food. Both of my parents have had successful catering careers – my dad is a main kitchen chef, classically trained, and my mum is a pastry chef trained in French Patisserie. After my mum having a successful catering career, she then set up her own cake business after I was born 22 years ago. 

Raised by Sweetness is personal to me because it is based on my upbringing and being able to combine my parents' careers as chefs into clothing. This collection shows that anything can influence a clothing collection, even if it is based around food and family history.

I currently have a part-time job on the weekends and I plan on going full-time there. While working, I will be looking for jobs within the fashion industry.
