About
Womenswear designer with an experimental approach to textiles. Painting, drawing and illustration has always been a true love in my life which translates through my design aesthetic as garments which feel like wearable art. Often working with paint, uncovered a fascination for hand pouring liquid latex to design delicate and intricate garments. The beauty in the process is that no piece will ever be identical nor recreated.
Oistins, Barbados. A place that celebrates a way of life and all those who work and contribute to the fishing industry. A quaint fish market, situated in the Parish of Christ Church, transforms into a hive of energy and celebration at night. This market would fail to exist without the plethora of unique and diverse aquatic life present in the waters of the west indies. For a place that I admire, this is my celebration and love letter to Oistins. All fabrics used within this collection are created by hand using liquid latex and capture the unique anatomy of Oistins' unique selection of fish. Transforming preconceptions of latex as a material and its association to fetish wear provided me with the inspiration to exploit the versatility, and equally challenging properties of the material. The beauty in the process is that no piece will ever be identical nor recreated due to the unique application of latex and hand finishes.
