"Fest Dad" is a unisex collection inspired by my dad’s passion for UK music festivals and the indie scene, which deeply influences our bond. His style, informed by mod culture and music, reflects the rich history of festivals like Glastonbury and Woodstock, where a sense of community makes him feel at home. This collection seamlessly merges the functionality of festival wear with an elevated edge to casual clothing. In crafting this collection, sustainability takes centre stage. I've conscientiously repurposed old garments for draping, sillhouette generation and garment reconstruction, drawing from my dad’s capsule wardrobe for inspiration; his trusty Bucket hat, in particular. This sustainable ethos not only guides my design process but also shapes the final lineup, through functionality, colour and silhouette. Featuring upcycled elements also breathes new life into existing pieces and adds to the history and reminiscent tone of the collection. Practicality meets style with transformable elements, like shirts draped onto jeans that offer versatility for hot festival crowds. Additionally, "Fest Dad" takes bucket hat features to new levels and is reinterpreted into shoulders, collars, and topstitching, adding a luxurious and personalized touch. From initial collaging to final draping, "Fest Dad" has evolved into a comprehensive collection of denim-heavy garments. Each piece adds an extra edge to casual wear, ensuring festival-goers feel both comfortable and confident as they immerse themselves in the music scene.
