Timeless pieces heavily influenced by contemporary, cultural and
historical factors is where my inspiration is derived from. Traveling from a
young age is something that has greatly motivated my viewpoints on aspects of
life and given me remarkable inspiration for my garments. I have learnt about
different features of the world, people, architecture, fashion and myself.
Characteristics of self-identity constantly appear in my designs through the
use of traditional styles of cuts and notions. Each of my garments tells a
story, I like to take notions from various countries and incorporate different
elements into each piece ensuring they’re all unique and matchless.
From cultural to
contemporary garments, each piece demonstrates how the world can be captivated
by fashion and influence society. I desire to intrigue the world through
fashion and let them feel my emotions through my expressive designs. I want to
connect people and the world together, all clothing have 'personalities' which
are brought out by the one unique persona. I am motivated by the ability to
transform a person and in turn providing uniqueness and identity through
fashion. Fashion is the uttermost form of self-expression to me. The use of
eclecticism in my works, portray there is a sense of urgency being created in
order to create an avant guard fashion scene.
My works are not characterised by a specific style, but rather many various elements brought
together, historical and cultural aspects in particular. I have mapped my life
out in a way where fashion is the emphasis, the focal point; The garments are a
personal depiction of how I want the world of fashion portrayed through the
elements of intricacy and post modernism in clothing. My garments represent
this through the structure and intricacy. Many of the works in the collections
have been heavily influenced by social, musical, architectural, cultural and
scientific domains, which are all contributing factors that help convey the
progression and development of fashion. I have derived elements from these
areas and combined them into various pieces of the collections.
