‘We need to be more mischievous’ was sparked by a painting by Jeremy Clayton; the painting featured a man wearing a 14th-century jester-inspired hat, which brought me a sense of joy and playfulness. With continued research into medieval silhouettes and the historical relevance of jesters, the collection grew, aiming to add a bit of whimsy into everyday garments. The collection also features fluid clothing, with pieces that fit multiple body shapes and sizes, as well as gender identities. A sustainable focus was influential when sourcing fabrics, aiming to create mono garments designed to be fully recyclable at the end of life, which I was introduced to by the Circular Textiles Foundation. Also, theoretically researched the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically goal 12, responsible consumption and production, highlighting the importance of waste management and customer awareness. My main focus was on the construction of the garments, creating quality finishings and crisp lines; highlighting the unique pattern cutting of contemporary, ‘ordinary’ garments. This is a focus for me as this is the pathway I aim to continue into a career, seeking a job in a small UK-based production team.
