Once domesticated but now left neglected, pigeons became the starting point for this collection. Once relied upon during wartime and closely connected to human life, they are now often ignored within the same urban spaces they were left behind in. Using this as a metaphor for the treatment of the working class by the government in Britain, the project imagines a speculative future where humans exist in a similarly abandoned position connected with pigeons. The collection reinterprets war heritage garments through experimental pattern cutting and distorted silhouettes inspired by pigeon posture and movement, drawing from British social realism and pigeon fanciers.
