I am a third year fashion student studying at Kingston University specialising in womenswear with a particular interest in contemporary sportswear. An internship at Avsh Alom Gur inspired an interest in surrealist fashion; whilst learning how to cut and manufacture such inventive pieces. Live competitions ensure an understanding of the fashion Industry where I have followed given briefs and presented finished garments.

PRESS

My collection garments have recently been photographed by Rankin to be used to represent Kingston University and publicise Graduate Fashion Week.

My Portfolio was chosen to represent Kingston University at a RIBA portfolio event; and has since been requested by Italian Vogue.

I completed a placement at Avsh Alom Gur in November 2008 where I worked on production in the Studio. I was involved in manufacturing show pieces and designing accessories.

In August-September 2009 I worked at Markus Lupfer where I assisted in the manufacturing of garments and pattern cutting.

My collection has been sponsored by 3M, Nike and Dashing Tweeds.
