-My mum always said I looked good in blue. She was right-

A personal reflection on memory, femininity and growth. Which came about from my own experience, now at what feels like a transformative point in my life, realising the shift in perspectives. Now looking up to my mum, someone I used to push against, now everything I aspire to embody. Revisiting old photographs of her and my siblings through a more mature lens, inspiring the silhouettes, textures and overall mood of the collection. Becoming a personal archive of growth, memory and transformation. Details woven into pieces that feel familiar, intended to be thrown on and put out of mind.
