Peace in Solitude

I am a menswear designer who specialises in manufacture, pattern cutting and fabric manipulation. Within my work I enjoy adding feminine elements into menswear, through fabric choice and techniques typically found in womenswear. The concept of my final major project looks at themes of comfort and protection. I am looking into things like skin as a form of protection, or a barrier. A barrier such as this has a fragile element to it, within my project I looked into fragility, and blending that with something stronger. I looked at barriers as a form or protection, like a safety blanket, instead of as a hindrance. My project looks into themes of being enclosed and being about to be comfortable with your own company.
