Find that balance between fashion, art and self-expression.
September LFW 2015 @Vinylfactorysoho Masters Degree Show Titled: Mind Over Matter. The project was inspired by creations from art therapy workshops, which were developed to help young adults overcome trauma, anxiety and depression. It expresses the alternatives to medication in a positive way. Trying to teach participants to be self expressive, using art and textiles as an alternative recovery process. I wanted to develop a process (mind over matter) that can help young adults deal with mental health disorders, it is a very personal project to me. The final collection is a development of research, workshops, and my own self expression. MANIFESTO: Use creativity as means of self-expression. Art and textiles should be used freely, don’t be afraid to make a mistake, this can develop into your best work. When considering fashion acknowledge wear ability, but don’t let this control your work. Find that balance between fashion, art and self-expression. Methodology: Mind Over Matter.
