BA Fashion (with Applied Textiles) 

This collection the body’s primal survival Instincts to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, into a sensory and visual language. The garments we wear have the potential to be visceral as much as visual. Through its physical connection to our bodies, textiles facilitate an emotional dialogue between the wearer’s physicality, identity and the outside world. For me, Textiles serve as a sensory and visual language, embodying our most instinctive emotions and experiences in ways that spoken language often cannot fully express.

Throughout my graduate collection, Primal Instinct, I use delicate silk knitwear contrasted with rigid wire structures and distorted silhouettes to explore these emotions and the body’s instinctive nervous system responses to them. Each garment within my collection becomes an embodiment a primal reactions of fight, flight, freeze or fawn – alluding to armour, escape, paralysis and performance. Rooted in psychological insight and driven by tactile experimentation, this collection seeks to reimagine beauty through vulnerability, examining how emotional experiences shape, protect, and strengthen us.
