Home Route

"Home Route" is an Autumn/Winter menswear collection inspired by the unique pastimes of my grandparents: my grandfather’s passion for Husky racing and my grandmother’s love for patchwork quilting. The collection draws initial garment, silhouette and hardware inspiration from the protective outerwear worn by my grandfather and his fellow Husky racing athletes. While the print and textile story evokes a sense of 'home comfort', reminiscent of returning from harsh mountainous terrains to the warmth of my grandmother and the family home. Intricate quilting techniques, digital prints informed by my grandmothers beautiful quilt work and knit are used to capture this feeling. Oversized puffer sleeves and soft fabrics are an integral theme within the garments and aim to create the sensation of being wrapped in a handcrafted quilt and the love it takes to create one!
