Summary

Final work

College London College of Fashion

Course MA Fashion Design Technology (Womenswear)

Graduation year 2026

This collection explores nostalgia through the world of London’s gentlemen’s clubs , reimagined as a distinctly female space. Informed by the presence of women of substance around me, confident, culturally engaged, and quietly powerful, the project transforms symbols of exclusivity and ritual into contemporary womenswear. Through sculptured softness , understated strength , and layered grace , emotional memories are reconstructed into refined forms that articulate an unspoken feminine perspective.

Final work

Look 4

Look 4 comprises asymmetrical pieces—including a leather coat, shirt, and wide-leg trousers—designed to evoke the atmosphere of someone elegantly reclining on an old sofa.

Look 2

Look 2 features a long asymmetrical dress layered in two tones of suiting fabric, reflecting the fluidity of the female body and incorporating traditional shirting details.

Look 1

Look 1 features a jacket and skirt composed of two complementary shades of cream, accented with silver buckle details. The jacket incorporates a reinterpreted tailored lapel, maintaining an overall sense of harmony and balanced proportion.
