CHOOSE COLLECTION:

Diminishing spectrum of recollection Obviously doctor youve never been a 13 year old girl. Nokia Young Fashion Desinger of the Year Awards 2009

DESCRIPTION:

This collection is an emotional narrative of the unique relationship that I share with my father, whom is a tailor,charting its changes, following his illness. I examined the relationships development from chilhood through to adulthood, from a voyeurist and recollective, stand point. Exploring the emotions, tensions and frustrations of our journey together. Through the subversion of his menswear patterns I transformed their function and have imbued them with new meaning. Memory and childhood is key. The artist Louise Bourgeois' thoughts of her father informed me and I constructed symbols to create meaning in my clothing. The lapel is redolent of the heart. This collection honours the rich history of tailoring in my family and my father.
