I created this outfit to highlight the work of Australian designers, focussing on versatility to explore a modern way of dressing casually. The cut-out tank top allows for expression through interesting layering techniques, and the ruching on the skirt enables length adjustments for the wearer.

This shows my take on the trend of subversive basics. I wanted to experiment with different ways of styling my wardrobe, so I put a basic black dress on backwards and layered a shirt underneath to give it an unconventional look and reinterpret the standard ways of wearing a dress.

This signature ‘trashy’/’bimbo’ outfit challenges social expectations and stigmas around that kind of fashion due to each individual piece being either high-end or high-quality. Often, women who wear this style of clothing are looked down upon, but this reinterpretation underlines a sense of quality and subverts that prejudice.

This outfit uses texture and pattern to bring together two dissimilar clothing pieces. The lines in the print of the shirt extend into the lines and stitching of the pants, creating a sense of vertical flow throughout the outfit that is pleasing to the eye.

Another upcycled t-shirt I made with sun-printing. This one involved some problem solving as when I applied the dye, it wasn’t coating the area evenly, so the image wasn’t developing properly. To fix this, I quickly reapplied the dye, purposefully leaving out some spots for a splotchy, messy finish.

This project utilised my sewing and garment construction skills to repurpose a second-hand blouse into the top that is pictured. This involved separating the shirt into its base fabric components, altering the size and shape of the pieces of fabric and then reattaching them again.

My trinket trays show my experience taking a design from concept through to execution. I hand-made each of the trays from air-dry clay and mapped out the shapes and colour schemes to carry out my artistic visions. This process required trial and error to find the right materials and method.

This painting was made during lockdown in 2020 as an escape from what life was at the time. It represents breaking out of unpleasant surroundings and demonstrates the ways that art and fashion can help people re-interpret their struggles in a healthy, creative way.
