College London College of Fashion Course BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear Graduation year 2025 This collection explores the unsettling emotional states evoked by feelings of alienation, repetition, and transitional displacement. Drawing from Freud’s theory of Das Unheimliche and infused with autobiographical narratives of frequent relocation, the garments reflect fragmented identities and distorted familiarity. Through the use of futuristic materials, transparent layers, and 3D-printed anatomical forms, each piece becomes a wearable mirror — revealing not only what is seen, but also what is repressed. Final work LOOK 1 - ECHO WOMB [70% Fem] Structured jacket in gradient purple-grey suiting, extended into a dramatic tailcoat silhouette. Paired with a fitted jersey top featuring raised translucent 3D-printed motifs. The flared fishtail skirt mirrors the same 3D detailing. Look is completed with a detachable full-resin belt—sculpted in transparent curves and fastened with silver hardware. Look 2 - ECHO VECTOR [50%Fem] Tailored pantsuit ensemble featuring a fitted lace top with integrated 3D printed motifs. The wool-woven jacket transitions into lace, creating a fluid contrast in texture. Coordinated trousers blend woven fabric and lace in mirrored curved panels, echoing the top’s anatomical structure. LOOK 3 - ECHO MORPH [100% Fem] A stretch printed mesh dress lies close to the skin, wrapped in a structured grey-purple shell. Transparent 3D-printed pieces hover like echoes - frozen gestures of transformation. This look reflects a body in flux, where softness and rigidity coexist in uncanny harmony.
