For your final collection, what was your inspiration behind it, and how long did it take you to complete?
My collection for autumn/winter 2017 was called "the contentious bride", which is an avant-garde bridal-inspired collection.
It's inspired by the strengths and struggles of woman all around the world and throughout the ages. Powerful and poignant.
My collection honestly took about 7 months to complete. The designing, pattern making, toiling, redesigning, toiling again, then sewing was a very long process. There were a lot of deadlines which were great, but I found it difficult to stick to the one design and once I started to toile, the design was pretty much impossible to create.
Most difficult thing you've had to learn since studying fashion design?
Sticking to the one design! I struggled a lot with this, but I wouldn't change anything! I'm very happy with the final product, and I would not change the design.
