My project for 2022 has been ‘Symbols vs Symbolism’.

It has been purely experimentation between these two words and is in answer to ‘What possible outcomes exist in the space in-between?’ I have found this project relevant at a time of purely divisional thinking and a need to balance growing total extremes and opposites. Grounding this concept with traditional menswear cutting and inverted traditional aspects of fashion design has provided a new dynamic of construction. I hope it challenges and diversifies the possibilities of clothing and its social meaning to the world.
