Since I was born, there are photos of me wearing anything with a United badge on and I grew up surrounded by football. At the same time, I had a completely different side of myself that took ballroom and Latin dance lessons from the age of 10, with the dance school becoming like my second home. Most Saturdays I would go straight from a dance lesson to the football with a quick change in the back of the car into my football shirt. With this, I have created a collection that explores these two worlds coming together in a commercial style with experimental ideas throughout. One of the outfits was then part of a Late at the Tate exhibition in Liverpool to celebrate Eurovision.
A short design project using only the imagery from a book. I chose to use the book "Good Pop, Bad Pop" by Jarvis Cocker, which is showing the process of him clearing through his loft and explaining the memories behind everything that he finds. I used this to design a collection that celebrates nostalgia and the culture that comes from throwaway items.
