Mrs Henderson Presents






A collection designed for Topshop inspired by the film Mrs Henderson Presents. By delving into the world of Mrs Henderson, an eccentric widow who decided to use her inheritance to open the first burlesque theatre in England in memory of her deceased son, a collection evolved which fused the youth and spirit of the 1930's with the elegance and eccentricity of Mrs Henderson herself.

Hidden India






















A sample of my work entitled Hidden India here's the description:- "Aimed at the ready to wear market this collection is inspired by the true identity of modern India. Looking at the works of Asha Sarabhai and the Jantar Mantar observatory garments are classically cut but at the forefront of fashion in silhouette using creative pleats, Laser cutting, digital printing and and stitchwork. Drawing from festivals such as Jali and the city of Rajastan the collection is full of jewelled colour including cerises, amethyst, ruby reds and emerald greens. Using luxurious fabrics such as silk, chiffons, organzas and lush nappa and hide leathers the collection encompasses the exquisiteness and sensuousness that is present in the depths of India."
