Scraping Back the Surface

Inspired by a letter from the Kray's to my late Grandfather, this A/W 2025 tailored womenswear collection explores the juxtaposition of hardship of the Krays Era with a contemporary perspective of East London from the book 'Don't Call Me Urban’ by Simon Wheatley. My collection is driven by Avante Garde tailored silhouettes that are created by moulaging vintage suit jackets on the stand with period constructed bras. Shapes are manipulated through cutting and suppression using button and fastening techniques, punctuated by period and contemporary sportswear references.
