Since Leaving Wollaston school I have attended a three year fashion design course at London college of Fashion, LCF . My final collection pieces were looking into the idea of Barbie and feminine role models. From developing festival outfits at GCSE, to graduating my design journey has taken a direction down the feminine fashion path and exploring the depths of the meaning.

Starting to work with and meeting different celebrity’s has been a great experience into a fashion career in London, as networking is key in the industry. It has been great to attend LCF for three years, it’s made me grow as an artist and designer and the runway presentation was a representation of that. It was great to have a member of staff, Faye Bland (Scagell) attend the fashion show. It was a symbol of where my fashion journey began and what to be thankful for in this process. It is exciting to see what’s next in store with my fashion journey.
