Dysmorphic

As a womenswear and menswear designer studying in London, I have been developing a collection focused on the abstract view of our bodies, which has inspired my garments to be primarily silhouette-focused, using the female and male forms to reconstruct my collection to work seamlessly between genders. The intention of the collection is to bring body dysmorphia into physical garment form using outerwear and specific fabrications to create abstract shapes whilst still considering technicalities such as garment longevity and wearability. When researching the essence of the collection I discovered a balance of duality between fashion and sportswear in its ability to adapt. I was inspired by the sustainable essence that sportswear can bring when considering longevity in fabrication and design. However, the beauty in the human figure brings an abstract feel to the garments, mirroring the idea of dysmorphia.
