Creating digital fashion is about being your own designer, pattern cutter, seamstress, stylist, model and photographer. When I bring my work to the physical world, it takes the form of accessories. Each bag is paired with a digital look – they are digital’s contrast, something we can and will always hold. 

Dedicated to exploring and unearthing the fearless style of queer women throughout history, this project was personally driven, highlighting the lesbians who are not seen or appreciated for their courage in style. Starting with research in the 1800s and exploring decades’ worth of style until the early 2000s, this project curates a line-up of garments that represent these eras of queer women, placing them in a digital fashion film inspired by gay clubs, with the aim to educate and inspire. As physical artefacts, I have handcrafted leather bags to pay homage to the lesbian accessories, expressing that intimate, hidden love.
