My Portfolio

Enamoured is a high-end line of avant-garde streetwear with new viewpoints on strength and beauty. Visual considerations were given to the various organic forms and hues inspired by the Botanic Garden's flowers. Elizabethan 16th-century art and in particular the film, Elizabeth: The Golden Age served as inspiration. The Queen represents a powerful woman with extraordinary abilities of freedom, feminism, and femininity. I enjoy imagining how dressing as a historical Elizabethan character might be liberating.

In order to create a compelling collection, I concentrated on creating dramatic looks, asymmetrical aspects, vibrant colour schemes with a hint of contrast using as many organic, recycled, and low impact textiles as I could. I simply wanted to produce intrinsically strong art. This was achieved through experimentation with fabric manipulation while looking for events to occur, employing Sashiko embroidery to quilt fabric, dying fabric using organic colouring and experimenting with leather by moulding into organic shapes.
