UNDER MY SKIN.
Under my skin. is my graduate collection.
It is a showcase of my personal and creative journey and finds its inspiration within my personal experience.
Through this collection, I wanted to show the skills I learn but also allow techniques and materials to inform my creative choices.
Under my skin. is essentially an ode to ones-self, to expressing ones journey despite the restrictions imposed by the society that surrounds us.
These garments are an illustration of where I am in this moment in time without neglecting who I was when I started this journey. Think of them as an X-ray of my creative journey so far, an x-ray that we can all relate to in different ways.
This is the most personal piece of work I have ever produced. My wish when developing this concept was to get deeper into my own creative journey and processes, to explore what feeds my creativity positively and negatively.
I wanted this collection to be about allowing yourself to be your own source of inspiration, your own Muse but also to be completely transparent with yourself and others.
Colaboration.
As part of this collection, I reached out to female owned, independent jewellery designers In Full Bloom to create a capsule collection of jewellery pieces.
We mixed materials that we regularly use to create these custom pieces; different types of threads for my part and resin, inks and gold/silver flakes fo theirs.
The outcome is these beautiful, unique pieces of jewellery which showcase both of our aesthetics.
