Having had a change of heart over the course of my three years at university, I have taken my education in Fashion Design and applied my knowledge towards a Fashion Journalism route. To support this interest, my final portfolio takes on the format of a magazine that includes articles, stickers and colouring pages. For my final collection, I took inspiration from childhood memories playing in the snow. Using the concepts of childhood and winter, I wanted to create something fun and warm. There are some items of clothing that seem 'off-limits' to adults but acceptable for children, examples are: leg warmers, hand or arm warmers, and balaclavas. With a newfound interest in knitting, I wanted to include such knitted accessories in my collection to create a sense of nostalgia and childhood joy that can too often be forgotten in a world full of ‘hustle culture’.
