BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development
Young london designer spreading positive social statements through her creative body of work. Her graduate range is called 'Fashion Vs Abuse' & has been inspired by the alarming rates of abuse within society today. The clothing has been designed with protective elements including buckles, animalistic feathers, custom crystallised rebellious spikes and the colour palette stripped down to a tonal nude spectrum. The headgear implies that women have no say when being abused & the harness restricts your body movement. The 'armoured crab' jacket is designed to enhance your confidence & the 'fleshed body' plays on female vulnerability. Alongside the clothing she developed a fashion technology product which is a combined rape/SOS alarm fashion accessory that works by sending a Bluetooth signal to your smartphone to send out a danger alert to a family member using its GPS technology to locate you. It also gives abuse victims confidence to walk the streets again as well as women walking home at night.
