My Concept.

The struggle to intertwine fashion and justice as a career,
the struggle to live out the prayer of st francis whilst maintaining the love of ‘material’ things – such as clothing.

As evidenced through the hood, I believe that the process of cross pollinating fashion and this prayer of st francis is through humility, also called altruism - selflessness. Committing to doing good, the cape and the hood is a sign of submission – and for this good cause I submit to.

The frills on each garment symbolise my love of fashion, my love for ‘pretty things’, that cannot be tamed not dampened.

The straps on the other designs resemble the bondage and the oxymoron’s I sometimes think that fashion and justice are. But despite the opposites – on one garment it has been made possible, contrasting a swimsuit with a cape, frills against straps, and a hood...

in submission to a greater cause....
