Fashion - Bachelors
My concept began as a reflective journey, an organic unfolding of my subconscious through design and innovation. This process helped me connect with my inner self and intuition, leading my concept to evolve into an embrace of one’s inner child. This playful spirit is woven into my collection through experimental, hands-on craft elements, celebrating the freedom to make a mess and explore without fear.
In this collection, I explore how childlike playfulness and a willingness to make mistakes allow us to bloom, unbound by fear. This theme is symbolised by organic growth and blooming, intertwining my personal journey and experiences with craftsmanship. The concept may diverge at points, but ultimately, these paths merge into a cohesive whole.
