My graduate collection “...From the commonplace book” will act as a deeply personal and introspective autobiography. My main goal with this project is to reflect on past work and refine aspects of previous projects whilst exploring new things and combining the two, developing my design style.
My ultimate goal with this collection is to introduce myself as a fashion design graduate and professional by creating garments that are intimately tied to my personal journey allowing my audience to gain insight into who I am. This collection will translate my life experiences, relationships, and interests into a tangible, visual evolution of my identity through fashion. As I develop this collection, each garment will reflect my journey and honour the influence of significant people and passions throughout my life, serving as a commentary on my environment and personal growth.
The aim of “...From the commonplace book” is to encapsulate and tell my story through clothing, hopefully offering a new perspective on fashion as a form of self expression and storytelling. By incorporating streetwear silhouettes and creating each garment with a backstory, my collection will blend personal narratives with collaborative elements and thematic interests. It will hopefully serve as a physical manifestation of my identity, relationships and experiences through sartorial artistry as my project evolves.
