A designer’s philosophy grows and evolves as they do, which I have found within my own ideologies and aesthetic during my time at Manchester Metropolitan University. I have always been a womenswear designer; my work has always been developed and referenced from a very personal perspective and therefore it always felt natural to design for women and by extension, design for myself and my own preferences. Despite this, I often reference menswear within my research; I have always been attracted to the silhouettes and the strong sense of precision and functionality, focusing on translating traditional, functional menswear garments into more contemporary womenswear designs.
