My final collection reflects my experiences living in the United Arab Emirates. It blends the old and new, inspired by the rich traditions I encountered, with an emphasis on exploring the duality of external and internal environments. Throughout my final year, I have focused on learning new techniques, including knitting and traditional tailoring, to create a well-rounded collection that showcases both my skill set and my concept. I have also developed a selection of accessories that represent the colour palette and textures of the main collection. Throughout this process, I have reflected on the skills I gained during my placement year and previous years of study.
