Held Breath

A/W 26/27 collection. The trousers were developed from a calico toile through to a final pair in 100% cotton drill, with the portfolio pages documenting each stage.

The trousers work like a breath drawn in and held. Deep pleats gather the cloth tight at the waistband, then let it go into a wide, heavy leg that moves as you walk. In development I tested darts against pleats, chose pleats for the volume, and moved the pockets into the side seams so they would not break the line of the folds.

Anonymity

White Project 25/26. Menswear in 100% white denim, built around a hooded jacket that covers the face and an asymmetric pointed hem.

The jacket is about taking the person out of the clothes. The hood closes around a blacked-out face, so all you read is the garment: its peaked hood, its pointed hem and one long zip. Keeping everything in white denim makes the shape the only thing to look at.

Figures of Tenebrosity

Shown at the ACS Cobham fashion show in February 2025. A line of pieces made and deconstructed by hand, worn with black face masks inspired by Maison Margiela, alongside a concept film shot in an abandoned bunker. Each outfit in the show contains one piece I designed.

Snake & Cross Pendant

This is where fashion started for me. In 2021 I entered the Cernucci jewellery design competition with the Snake & Cross Pendant and was named one of three winners. Cernucci put the pendant into production and sold it, and it sold out several times.

Deconstruction / Reconstruction

Tailored jackets taken apart and rebuilt. Cord embroidery, wire flowers and plaster bodies turn the blazer into a surface for drawing.

I started from the most ordinary formal garment there is, a plain navy blazer, and treated it as a canvas. It was slashed and pinned back together with safety pins, then drawn on in wire and coloured cord. The plaster bodies were cast and broken to sit underneath, so the structure and the surface both look half taken apart.
