Everyone needs fun. Everyone can benefit from art. In the midst of life's chaos sometimes all you need is an outfit loaded with serotonin that can distract you from a bad day. Distraction from any turmoil. My graduate collection is all about lesbians; a sapphic utopia. I always feel inspired by women who love women. As a feminine lesbian I have always felt erased within my sexuality. By utilising sapphic devotion as a point of inspiration within my final collection it has helped me reclaim the erasure I felt. Within my work I want to dictate that being a lesbian doesn't have a certain look that various media outlets push upon us. I am proud to be a lesbian. I am proud to be inspired by lesbians. I am proud to say that my design work, particularly my final collection has finalised to me that lesbian is not a bad word. It is empowering! Change does not happen without action and the world needs change. We cannot continue in a world where trans people fear for their lives. Where women who love women feel scared to hold hands in public. Where Palestine is not free. Where evil men everywhere make evil decisions about women's bodies. I feel the instinctive urge to protest. To fight for what is right, I always have. Feeling so strongly about politics everyday naturally means it wanders into my work every time; and that, I am proud of. My entire collection is an entirely knitted collection knitted both by hand on the dubied and shima technology. I love knitwear, it is a craft that should be adored and appreciated; a skill that I adore. I was told it would be difficult to do an entirely knitwear collection within the time frame but when you love something that much, knitting never feels like a chore.
