My final collection of three looks inspired by cheerleading and how it is heavily overlooked as a sport. LOOK 1 takes inspiration from the typical cheer mom who is the supportive protector of the team stating that cheerleading is not a bitchy sport like how it is perceived. The wrap around bow jacket and trousers is inspired by the supportive hugs given from cheer moms. The prints within this look take inspiration from the supportive hand connections and cheer chants within cheerleading. LOOK 2 takes inspiration from the typical cheerleader who gets back up again and keeps performing, even after an injury. The wrap around bow top takes inspiration from a sling worn with a broken arm, to reference the many injuries which occur within cheerleading. Look 3 takes inspiration from the typical perfect cheerleader which people perceive all cheerleaders to be. A typical ‘IT GIRL’. This look is stating that cheerleaders must put on a show when they perform but that doesn't mean they should be perceived as ‘IT GIRLS’ and be sexualised. From the bows to the heavy makeup, it's all a part of the routine to PUT ON A SHOW. For my whole collection I wanted to be sustainable, therefore, I made my own fabrics from donated cheerleading kits and merchandise to thoroughly emphasise the incredible community of cheerleading on a deeper personal level. Cheerleading is also one of many sports which impacts the environment hugely. Therefore, I wanted to help prevent a lot of kits going to waste by upcycling them and making them into my own fabrics for my final collection.
