My graduate collection is inspired by the masquerade, in particular the idea of morphing and concealing, which was interesting to think about in the context of the pandemic with Covid masks. From this research I took traditional garments such as equestrian jackets and jodhpur trousers and developed them into garments that were inspired by heritage yet felt new and innovative. During the research stage I decided to learn how to 3D print and through this technique I was able to produce some really interesting textural textiles. For my first look I used 3D print on the sleeves to create a design that mimics pearl embroidery on a larger scale and similarly for my second look I printed charms inspired by Victorian jewellery. I believe 3D print is a really great technique because it is sustainable as many filaments are made from recycled materials and it is a zero waste process. This links to another interest of mine which is sustainability. The majority of materials in my collection are deadstock, remnant or have other sustainable benefits. My first look is made of patch-worked remnant Japanese denims with panels of reflective denim that morphs the appearance of the garment in different light settings.
