College Central Saint Martins

Course Graduate Diploma Fashion

A journey back to your hometown, reliving and reappropriating life as a young queer person in the Bible Belt.

Growing up in an area full of nature; experiencing this sense of freedom and peace. At the same time, feeling constrained and restricted by the conservative way of thinking around you.

This collection navigates through a story of identity, the nostalgia of growing up as a triplet and queerness. Dipping in the historical dichotomies between queerness and religion, while marrying these contradicting terms in designs and characters.

This collection symbolises the importance of sustainability in my creative practice. The curiousity of the seemingly infinite possibilities of using waste and upcycled materials resulted in my final collection being nearly entirely made from deadstock, home-grown and scrap/waste materials.
