As a BA (Hons) Fashion graduate, I have created an A/W womenswear collection that explores the tension between structure and vulnerability, a dialogue between protection and expression. This body of work serves as both a response to the contemporary societal pressures placed on women and a personal exploration of emotional armour.

Drawing inspiration from sculpture, the Icelandic landscape, and unconventional silhouettes, my work is deeply driven by questions of identity, experience, and resilience. I am particularly interested in how clothing can become a vessel for emotional narratives – how texture, silhouette, and material choices can communicate unspoken truths. Informed by research into human behaviour, emotional labour, and sustainability, this collection reimagines the garment not merely as a fashion item, but as an emotional object. My design approach is process-led, intuitive, and material-focused, working primarily through draping and deconstruction. Specialising in surface manipulation and outerwear construction, I explore layering and modular design as strategies to foster adaptability and longevity in clothing.
