SWITCH

Information

SWITCH is a collection is inspired through the need for flexibility, focused around work and life balance and how it is becoming harder to maintain. Experimenting with reversible and adaptable garments, I was able to create a collection that is changeable, transforming from work suitable outfits to casual wear. Focusing on the way in which we interpret colours for different environments and exploring colour and patterns, I used black as the main colour for the ‘work’ side, contrasting it with bright floral patterns for the ‘casual’ side - allowing the garments to transform between both. 

As a designer I enjoy pattern-making and experimenting with different construction methods. Disrupting traditional techniques to create an interesting new approach towards constructing garments - using both flat pattern and draping skills to achieve this.
