OCEAN TREASURES

My graduate collection ‘Ocean treasures’ is a project inspired by the phrase ‘the world is your oyster’ and is all about dreaming of a paradise after lockdown, which for me is a pink sand beach and turquoise water. Drawing silhouette inspiration from pearls, conch shells and sea urchins and combining that with sixties beachwear, classic Balenciaga couture and exploring details from playful nineties Chanel looks this collection is all about having a care-free summer holiday in utopia. I wanted to create that feeling of deep relaxation when you step off the plane and go into holiday mode by creating a collection suitable for the walks along the beach, cocktails with the girls and swimming costumes for the poolside. My motivation for this concept is derived from the anticipation of being released from lockdown and waiting for that permission to go on holiday after a year of being constrained to our local areas.
