Somewhere

This is SOMEWHERE. The project roots itself in the environments that I have experienced, driven by a narrative imagined from the photographs I have taken along the way. Military references are at the core of the garments' designs, taking function and form to propose a purpose born out of the requirements of each landscape. Materialised through repurposing of surplus items and dead stock fabrics, even scavenged materials from the coast, which creates unique stories for each piece and takes responsibility for the origins of the collection's resources. An affinity with the landscape is further portrayed through the use of print and textile manipulation, taking a camouflaged theme to pay homage to the natural world from which the collection hails.
