PSYCHEDELIA is a collection that comes of the back of a mini-collection that was about creation as a method of removing myself from the place I was in at the time. It was my response to the isolation I felt in quarantine as I mourned the loss of experiences I was supposed to have on exchange in Amsterdam.
Upon reflecting on my time abroad, I instead, sought inspiration from the city of Amsterdam itself. I decided to take the visual aesthetic of my collection down a more trippy, psychedelic route, referencing Electric Ladyland, the fluorescent art museum.
For me, the creation process was no longer a distraction but a celebration of the experience I did have. I worked in collaboration with graphic designers MONB and allp.des in order to enhance my pieces with bold, eye-catching prints.
A key influence for my collection was Matisse’s work series “The Cutouts,’ in which he uses fluid and organic lines, bright, eye-catching colours and natural silhouettes and shapes, all of which feature in my garments.
My aim is to show a journey through my graduate collection. From isolation and grief, to a place of acceptance, re-emerging with a sense of celebration.
Despite the many difficulties I was faced with over the course of this project due to the global pandemic we are currently experiencing, I have been able to create a collection that completely embodies my identity as a fashion designer and reflects both my bold design aesthetic and my modern, striking stylistic choices.
