A playground of mix-matched madness, featuring staples, statements and interchangeable design elements. This collection draws from my years as a competitive Irish dancer, where rhythm and discipline shaped me, while the intricate and bizarre aesthetics inspired me. I fuse these themes with a trance-like yet industrial feel to build a modular collection grounded in both self-expression and wearability. I am a walking talking example of organised chaos, and my graduate collection is no different, using mostly deadstock and recycled materials, I’ve turned scraps into transformable pieces featuring magnetic panels, reversible styles, and adjustable lengths. By layering textiles such as laser-etched prints, digital embroidery, and embellishments I aim to give each piece more depth and personality. Rejecting fixed formulas, this collection encourages dynamic solutions for reassembling garments, extending their wearability and simply just suggesting we have some fun with what we wear. Built for the future, each design is made to last, evolve, and reduce waste; clearly labelled for care and recyclability. This is a blueprint for how I envision my future studio: a space that invites the consumerist paradigm to value experimental creativity over the relentless consumption of empty possessions. I believe that by embracing change and designing for it, we in turn can have wardrobes that tell a lasting story.
