Growing Back Into Childhood Happiness

My work specialises in colourful, textural and plus size womenswear garments. My research shows the importance of creating size-inclusive, sustainably made garments without the consumer compromising fun, playful clothing. My FMP focuses on childhood nostalgia, recreating childhood happiness and exploring how attachments to the past can inspire fashion today. The title “Growing Back Into Childhood Happiness” is about investigating how I can bring back the simple joys of childhood memories through a colourful, textural collection full of youthful wonder. My collection is intended to create child-like joy in the consumer, juxtaposing the serious-ness of the fashion industry today. However as playful as my garments are my collection holds size-inclusivity and sustainability as main concerns. It’s important to me as a designer to create clothes for everyone, which is why my eco-friendly collection has been produced for women of all sizes who want to experiment with playful fashion.
