10 years in the making.
This dress was one of the pieces in the final line-up for my graduate collection. I had designed it, drawn it, imagined it… and then somehow it took me another 10 years to actually make it.
When lockdown came around, I found myself spending my birthday at home, unable to see any of my friends. So, rather than let the circumstances ruin it, I decided to make myself a birthday present: the dress I’d been waiting a decade to create.
I made it, put it on, and turned my house into a photoshoot location. Somehow, a piece that had existed only as an idea for so long became one of my favourite things I’ve ever made.
It also features the original version of my signature latex-lace fabric — a technique that has since become such a defining part of my work.
Sometimes ideas just need a little time to catch up with you. 🖤
