Hello, I am Luka,

As a Manchester Fashion Institute graduate, I am determined to make the world of fashion a more sustainable and inclusive environment. Much of my final year has surrounded the inclusivity and fluidity of gender within the industry. The circular nature of fashion has never seemed so prevalent. The ability to express ourselves and create social identities through clothing provides the perfect opportunity to express our gender in our chosen way. Through new and adjustable clothing, I strive to make my recent brand concept of 'Epoch 23' a reality, enabling those part of the transgender community the opportunity to express themselves freely.

Fashion is the second most polluting industry, it is our duty, as new and innovative members of the fashion industry, to set our goals and strive for both a natural and eco-friendly industry.  To keep our passion alive, this is necessary, without compromising the one planet we inhabit.
