I find that there is a magical aspect accompanying snow. An amazing thing about snow is that regardless of how my life has changed, the rush and joy I feel when interacting with it stays the same. With this project, I aimed to create this magical feeling of snow within my project, looking into the lightness of it, the texture even, and then further aiming to portray this strong emotion of excitement and joy. To achieve this, I have delved into textile research, exploring unconventional materials and experimentation to achieve the look and emotion of the snow. I made the clothing lightweight and do more of a spring/summer collection to display the warmth and comfort I feel in the snow's presence.

Final work

Streetwear inspired baggy jacket, tank top and trousers that come to be a round shape.
