I come from a different major and the RCA is my first experience of fashion design. “I CREATE CLOTHING FOR REAL LIFE, BECAUSE THE CORE REASON OF WEARING GARMENTS IS TO TEMPT THE VIEWER AND TO REVEAL A SENSUAL APPEARANCE.”ĭid you gain industry experience before your MA? I spent a lot of time with the zigzag machine, constantly repeating the same motion consciously and unconsciously at the same time. My interpretation of repetition as perverted meant that I started to fabricate in a perverted way. Drawing upon the idea of time, I would end up consuming many hours in the week to create these broken textiles. Lace also relates to sensuality and fetish as does thin jersey and socks. I wanted to play with this idea and the concept of time.I re-allocated fabric in a time consuming and repetitive way as to me, the idea of repetition is perverted. I then made a new flow-like tap-water lace. Lace has a conventional image of sensuality and delicate luxury I broke the usual repetitive lace patterns, by ripping and re-stitching it.

This represents my design process: to break the conventional design. Once drawn, he rubbed it off with a set of basic tops and trousers, and what was once a denim jacket changed into a print on the t-shirt through his actions. I drew a standard denim jacket on Yuki, using lipstick. My Work In Progress show performance was about the process of making flow. When developing and transforming your collection, how important was working with different creative forms and how did you break the conventions of ‘usual’ design?
