FINAL COLLECTION
My concept for my final collection was inspired by an exhibition I went to at the V&A in London about Alice in Wonderland and how she's an icon to a lot of people. She's a symbol for empowerment as she takes you on a journey exploring her identity as she grows up and has the courage to express herself to challenge the impossible. I wanted to combine the concept of her growing up with my journey growing up where I looked at my old kids clothes from different birthdays that were kept for me to pass down and recent items for special occasions for inspiration. Also, looking into the concept of time looking back through old photographs and appreciating everything around you as you grow up. I wanted to create a collection transforming my kids clothes into a new contemporary version for my future self as a garment is an expression of ourselves and each piece tells as story.
