Embarking on a journey into the world of psilocybin, my collection delves into the effects and aesthetic of magic mushrooms. With a focus on the history and future of this remarkable organism within medicine, I set out to create artworks that vividly capture the essence of hallucinations. Aptly named "Pink Buffalo," this collection is a tribute to the incredible effects of magic mushrooms with intricate prints that expertly replicate the hallucinogenic experience. It explores the complex layering of different garments, expertly crafted with an eclectic mix of bright and contrasting colour to replicate certain types of mushrooms. An important aspect of this project was also to focus on sustainability, discovering how much waste can be salvaged and transformed into something beautiful. Winning the Kornit x Graduate fashion week competition gave me the chance to unleash my creative vision and bring to life an unparalleled collection.
