‘Mother & Mode’, is a poignant reflection upon my family, and the history of fading crafts passed down through generations. These slow-fashion pieces speak of fragments of memories and the processes within to add value to the mode of curation, as a counter to over-consumption. Combined with natural fibres and quirky silhouettes, this collection challenges the users' relationship with clothing through an exploration on how emotional connection can lead to garment longevity.
